With temperatures like that I bet you have not worn a bikini a day in your life. But come to think of it nor have I. Well there was this one time. But we won't talk about that. 😕
Originally posted by NordlysAh yea, I forgot about that. Germany, I drank a Becks beer today. That is German right? Pretty good beer. Or I don't know maybe it was Holland. I saw a Tv show about some autistic child who would freak when hugged. Seems strange to those who don't have those feelings but it is very real to those who do. And we should respect it and try to understand it. Makes me want to give you a great big supportive hug though. But I must resist the temptation. I must... I must... I must. You sure make it hard on us though. Why couldn't you pick something easier to have phobias about. Like fear of ice cream. Then we could all eat yours. But no, you have to choose that one. And spelling. 😕 Anyway we still like you.

Originally posted by NordlysIf I wanted your opinion I would give you one. Now what oppinion should I give you? What misconception do I have? 😕 Other than the a sexual thing which hugs are not sexual, well sometimes they are not. Unless it turns you on. In which case. Oops.
Just trying to correct some common misconceptions. 😕

Originally posted by cashthetrashNo idea what you are trying to say here... The misconception I was referring to is the idea that avoiding hugs is a phobia. I guess it might be in some cases, but in my case and for many other autistic people it's due to hypersensitivity to touch, as I have said before.

Edit: And it's unrelated to being asexual. Most hugs aren't sexual.
Originally posted by NordlysAre you Autistic too? If so, that is the first I have heard. Are you telling me it is physically painful for you? And not emotional or mental? Oh and by the way I was just messing with you. I really am interested. Kind of educational in a way.

Originally posted by cashthetrashI don't have an official diagnosis, but yes, I believe that I am on the autistic spectrum. And yes, it's physically painful or unpleasant.

Originally posted by cashthetrashReally? What makes it painful for you? Or are you just joking, and I am not getting the joke? I have asked people to change their avatar because it was painful, but those were flickering or blinking avatars which some other people also found unbearable. I find it hard to imagine why someone would find my aurora avatar painful.
Thanks, please change your Avator, friend. It is painful. 😉
