Got nothing back

Holding Sue was like holding a sack of potatoes, because you got nothing back


Sue was an autistic child and her mother rueffully talks about it here. I didn't understand the comparison to a sack of potatoes. What does it mean 'got nothing back' here?
Thanks

No affection, no reciprocity. If you hug a sack of potatoes, it's not going to hug you back--hopefully.
