Thank you for writing this - touch aversion is not really a thing I have ever heard much of (and I really should have - honestly, what is with society and ignoring basic needs of people not-exactly-like-the-mainstream?!) and it really helps me understand some of my friends better. I mentioned previously that we were a pretty touchy-feely bunch in high school - well, not all of us, and I never quite understood that, or really respected it. I feel kind of guilty about that now.^^;;;
ETA: Also, re: whether I'd like to see more positive portrayals of touch-averse people in fiction, yes, definitely! Just like I want to see more portrayals of non-sexual touching. And non-touching intimacy. And pretty much anything that doesn't fit the mainstream models for how people are allowed to act and be.
