Toe And Heel walking

Post Reply New Topic

Anyone here walk like this? I sometimes walk on my heels around the house and my boyfriend whom I met here walks on his toes around the house. I also go up steps on my toes, I wonder why aspies do this?

I used to walk on my toes when I was younger all the time, I remember being told to walk properly by my nan and I had no idea what she was talking about. I only realised what she meant when I got older.

I walk on my out-stretched toes. They are very long.

When I had the urge to run as a child, I would run on my toes. But that is all.

only on the stairs-upwards i managed to get rid of it while walking on the normal ground

hih! i didn't even know this was an AS trait...but I walk on my toes going up and down the stairs...sometimes I just like to stand on either my toes or heels.

interesting.

mom said I never used my knees when I was learning to crawl, always my streched out toes and my fingers or hands. I also bounced on my rear a lot giving me the name of "bouncy bouncy bawley" they would say I would bawl or cry like a young calf when I bounced into something and hurt myself.

I go up on my toes all the time. I was very much a toe walker as I child. I got teased for it constantly...especially in 3rd and 4th grade....it falls in with my cruddy motor development..and um...while toe-walking is not necc. a trait exclusive to Aspies, apparently, if a kid does not outgrow it after a certain age, it is a clue that there might be something off with their neurological development ..according to what I have read.

It is also common in folks with cerebral palsy..which I don't have.

I went to a foot doctor once who wanted to give me a crazy expensive operation.
I am glad i didn't take it.
I like walking in my toes.

I'd walk on my toes and heels when I'd see cracks in the sidewalk so I could flip the crack with my toe and then land on my heel. I realized it was weird but it just felt so good when I'd catch the crack just right. Now, when I'm at home I walk on my tippy toes a lot. Or, when I rest in a standing position I have a habit of leaning on the outer edge of my feet.

I have a habit of walking around the house with the toe then heel when I have no foot wear, I remember doing this after seeing my older brother do it

< Toe walker.

I will walk on my toes when I think the surface is slippery. I have done this at swimming pools.

I walk on my toes sometimes. I'm not sure how much I did it when I was little, but I think I remember it being quite a bit.

When I was younger I did.. Not so much now.

Though on occasion I catch myself walking on my toes.

I always walk up steps on my toes, and toe-walk around the house when I'm happy or excited (Or just plain energetic) But I generally don't when I'm wearing shoes. Socks are ok though.

I've toe-walked ever since I learned how to walk. I toe-walk 100% of the time when I'm barefoot. I go back and forth between "normal" walking and toe-walking when I'm wearing shoes. I never knew it was indicative of AS until I was diagnosed. I recently read in a book about Sensory Processing Disorder (The Out-of-Sync Child) that toe-walking may come about because of sensory issues: It eliminates the feeling of the ground on the back of your foot. I never really thought about it, but I think that is why I toe-walk.
