My DS just voluntarily gave me a hug -

[alison222]

...... because I looked like I needed it.
He is 11 with AS and never usually gets it.
Is something changing in his brain or am I looking that bad?

Lovely

Don't worry about why he did it. Just enjoy that he did. Whether you look bad (and I'm sure you don't), he recognised either a) you needed a hug or b) he felt like giving you a hug. Wonderful.

The "do I look that bad was tongue in cheek but there is no emoticom for that - (perhaps we need one) - although I am exhausted.

I was really touched though at his response - especially as he had just had a meltdown over a parcel which he is expecting that has not arrived.

Awwwwwwww :)
