This mother is quite correct.
As a rule, the autistic child doesn't enjoy physical contact with others.
Parents have to find other ways of comforting him.
For the young child this may be no more than providing food, light or movement.
As he grows older it may be a matter of providing some accustomed object ( his `` magic '' thing ).
Or certain words or rituals that child and adult go through may do the trick.
The answer is different for each autistic child, but for most there is an answer.
Only ingenuity will uncover it.
