I'm concerned about my friend's 14 year ASD DS. My DCs are not happy because he touches/strokes their hair, clothes and gives prolonged hugs. The behaviour feels creepy even though we understand this is part of his condition. My friend seems to not notice and doesn't say anything - I think she reckons its ok because that's who he is. I want to talk to her about this more as I'd hate his continuous touching to get him into serious trouble in the future. We want to be supportive. Any thoughts?
