Answer

Can autism or ADHD affect how someone experiences closeness?

Autism and ADHD can involve different ways of processing information and stimuli, and those differences may affect how someone experiences touch, sound or social situations. They vary from person to person and are not interchangeable. In a relationship on Mallorca or anywhere else, these possibilities are not a reason to diagnose a partner from a few behaviours.
