Had a great conversation with someone about this at a recent con, but for me, cuddles can be completely platonic. Especially if I'm or both of us are in fursuit. They can be nothing more than horizontal hugs if that's what's comfortable for you. All you have to do is ask.
People with autism & ADHD age late. We do things late. Our frontal lobe doesn’t develop until our mid 30s in many cases (as opposed to the neurotypical norm of age 25). We also have baby faces & childlike mannerisms for life while somehow possessing the wisdom of an ancient sage.
LITERALLY THIS, it's insane how many furries think it's cringe/weird/awkward to play a character in fursuit!
YOU'RE IN A FURSUIT
IT'S ALL CRINGE
