my brother was autistic.I myself have this wierd thing with my kids where I just love the feel of babies and can cuddle them nonstop,but when they get to about 3 I feel like pushing them away.One of my boys was very cuddly but very quit and content.(sucked his thumb,curled my hair,stuck to me like glue but in a quiet way) hes still the same at 13 and I never ever minded him.My husband is also quiet and snuggly and I dont mind him.Our mother was very cold and my fathers cuddles were uncomfortable and felt wrong.I think theres something to do with a combination of :fear of rejection and also ;fear of over....i cant think of the word(like a 3 year old being noisy and over intrusive in character plus clingy compared to a quiet non intrusive but cuddly like a baby character)and maybe a link to abuse,as well. (did that make sense?)...(arina.
