Kids: Today, my six year old son came up to me with his arms spread...

Today, my six year old son came up to me with his arms spread and said, "I feel like a hug." I got really excited and hopeful because he is very anti-social and hates physical contact. As soon as I stood up to hug him he said "Feeling's gone" and walked away. FML

Today, my spouse gave me the gift of hugging me. I'm so touch-starved, I cried. I can see our relationship crumbling but I'm the only one who seems to want to fix it. Our kid saw me and I can't even explain how sad it made me. FML

Today, when I called my 2-year-old son over for a hug, he giggled and squealed as he ran over to me. He then stopped in front of me, punched me in the bollocks, and walked away quite happily whilst I was doubled over in pain. FML

Today, when my son woke up from his nap, he sleepily reached up. I picked him up and gave him a big hug, and he immediately pushed me away. He wasn't reaching for me, he was reaching for the bag of chips on the table next to me. FML

Today, I went to see my mother with my kids. Before, I had told my son to give her hugs and kisses and I would buy him candy. He did, but then he told her that I said that. FML

Today, I tried to cuddle Simon, my five year-old son. He wriggled away and said, "If you need a teddy bear, go buy one! Or get another Simon!" FML

Today, at midnight, I heard my son calling for his mom. I stopped by his room and asked him what was wrong? He didn't tell me. Instead, he said: "Oh, I don't need you." FML

People of Walmart

Today, my four-year-old son asked me for a "boobie hug" in Walmart. It's something his dad thinks is cute and I've just gotten used to, so I hugged him without question. From the other end of the aisle, a strange man asked, "Can I have one too?" FML

Today, I went to hug my husband and give him a kiss. He flinched away and asked what I was doing, because I apparently never hug him, so he thought I might be about to prank him or something. Now I feel bad. FML

I usually don't do this, but anti-social behaviour and avoidance of physical contact can be signs of autism. Now before anyone jumps on me, I'm not making any diagnosis here. I'm only saying they are signs that something deeper MAY be going on. Ok, now you may flame the shit out of me.

tell him you don't feel like punching him, then go up to him and give him a punch saying 'feeling's gone'

Honestly, sounds like he may have autism. Poor social development and avoidance of physical contact are common signs. You should get that checked. Autism is not a bad thing, just something you should know to help with school and parenting.

children are reflections of their parents. TALK WITH YOUR CHILD, don't be a stranger, he's you're son, be supportive and help his confidence. antisocial 6 year old? I think it's a case of child neglect. the only thing consistent in life is change, and the best thing you can do is keep you and the people you love on the right path.

Or he could just be antisocial or autistic. o.o if she was so excited to hug her son, I doubt it's neglect.

he's that way because obviously he wasn't taught any better

Yes because autism is a taught behaviour now? You heard it here first folks! He may not be autistic, we don't know, but you can't assume he's being neglected!
