If so, let me know when you're going to be on the Square and what you look like and we'll test the truthfulness of your answer.

A autistic person..does not like to be touched, or touch anyone else. If one has spent anytime with autistic children, it’s one of the parents heartbreaking moments. Hugs, or affectionate move’s or even eye contact, cause them to withdraw, and can take hours or days to return to what is their normal life, no where near what your life is. Or what you are suggesting.
How do I know this one of our sons is a behavioral psychologist, dedicated his time to autistic children. I have watched him with low and high functioning children. It rips your heart at what the parents endure for their much loved child, yet can never express what many of us take for granted. Yes my son has experienced Mark, had conversations, and in no way felt threatened by Mark.
So many have their views about Mark, yet I am betting not one who thinks they know Marks behavior, has any knowledge of his behavior and what to expect.
Just a side note the most undiagnosed age group for autism is 70s to 90s. Those in that age group were never diagnosed, on the spectrum..just born too early for testing.
