Interesting. I wasn't aware that lack of arm movement while walking is a common trait in people with autism.

After thinking about it, I guess I don't really move my my arms when I walk. I also have a hard time relaxing my face and shoulders.


Same. Right now I'm sitting at my laptop, hunched forward, shoulders tight. It is slightly uncomfortable, but I don't seem to want to move. :?

I had to be taught. The Army's marching style involves swinging both arms. I received one-on-one lessons. Quite humiliating at the time.

I walk like a plank as well, one of my classmates pointed that out to me and was kind of confused by it but I guess even my walking looks autistic XD

Running? Oh dear... My friend finds me running absolutely hilarious :x
