Being uncomfortable with physical touch is typical for autism. The big LW community events I attended have a lot of physical touching. From what I heard about CFAR that's true as well.
We don't act according to standard social scripts and a few people do show signs of autism but I don't think autists are a majority.
Given the low autism base rate, you're right they are probably not a majority. A self-improvement group with lots of autistics probably should practice physical touching.
