Yep, I’ve been teaching kids on the spectrum for years, and the not-so-gentleman on the airplane didn’t read as ASD to me either. Very, very few ASD members of our community like physical touch or close quarters, especially with those they don’t know well (or at all). Steph, I reckon that’s one criticism that you can just straight walk away from – if he was Autistic, my experience says he’s VERY atypical.
