My tactile issues are opposite of those with tactile-defensivness. My skin is unresponsive to touch unless it is deep pressure. I do not feel when the wind blow through the short hairs of my body. I haven't much sensation in my finger tips, I must always look to see where my hands are and what they are doing. I can't find things in my pockets or feel anything unless I can see it. I have a hard time in the dark, it scares me.
