This is what I meant about melting into my mom’s body when she held me. I was surprised to read in a book from the seventies that this was common in autistic babies. Before that I had only heard of those who, like my brother, stiffened or screamed when held. I still find it interesting the different physical ways I respond in baby pictures with each of my parents. (With my father I am more likely to have a bit more physical distance but also more similarity of posture and movement.)
