When I'm sitting, I constantly have at least one, of not both, of my big toes curled under. I think I may actually be unable to have both feet flat on the ground at the same time, unless I'm walking. Anyone else experience this?

I don't curl my toes, but I often notice I have one or both fists lightly clenched for no reason, even if I'm calm and not stressed. I know of no reason for this, except if it's just an Asperger's thing.

I do this, but I never connected it to Asperger's.

I like curling, it's my favorite Olympic Sport.

Don't curls my toes, although I'm a devout toe wiggler when the shoes come off.

I'm diagnosed and have always done this. Probably when I'm anxious. By the time a pair of my shoes get old there are voids in the soles from my big toe nails.

I sometimes curl my toes and clench my fists as described here. However, when I was younger, I did this curling the toes more than today.
