My toddler seems to hate physical contact?!

[Singlegaymumofonetoddler]

I have a very nearly two year old daughter who I've been reassured by all that she isn't autistic. She's very sociable, chatty, friendly, loads of eye contact etc.
However she seems to be really repelled by me (or anyone) touching her skin. If I sit near her I will try to stroke her hair or hold her hand or put my hand on her leg and she will always push me off. As a tiny baby she squirmed in my arms as if trying to get away from me and has never given me a 'proper' cuddle. (Fleeting ones if she's after something like a biscuit) If she falls over and hurts herself she won't be soothed, just pushes me off. She's only been ill once and even then didn't want me near her. People have said 'she'll get cuddlier as she gets older' but if anything she's pushing me away more and more.
I'm absolutely gutted about this as I feel constantly rejected but also worry about what it means about her.
Will this change at all? Should I be concerned? Should I do 'something' about it?
Please be kind I'm really really sad about it all and very worried.

I would think it's a sign that she feels really secure with you, my toddler was the same as yours but maybe not as extreme (he wants to be cuddled when sleepy/ill) I found playing games with him (this little piggy/round and round the garden/head shoulders knees and toes on each other) helped encourage enjoyment of touch. Also baths/swimming.

I now have a 4 month old who will not be put down, sane parenting if anything I'd like to put him done sometimes! I think they are just all individuals, my mum says my little sister wouldn't sleep whilst being held and I wanted to be cuddles constantly.

She sounds like an independent girl and I think its quite normal. Mine is the same (she is now 7). I smiled at her in the car a few days ago and she said "what?" like a teenager. So affectionate!
