Tip toeing has to do with AS/ASD??

Post Reply New Topic

I've just read an article that says it's related. I do that a lot actually. I do that a lot. Nobody has ever commented on it, all my life. I'm 47. Nobody ever said a word. I do it sometimes. Maybe 6% of the time. When I'm not actually needing to for real tip toe.

Toe walking is very common on the spectrum, although people sometimes give different explanations as to why.

I live a half mile from the road, and a mile from my nearest neighbors. Sometimes I'll find myself turning down the volume on my music and whispering to the dog, as well as treading very softly. Since I tend to take myself too seriously, I normally use this as an excuse to laugh at myself. I could hold a rock concert and not disturb anybody!

I always thought it was a habit I developed from living in apartments for so many years. Live and learn.

I've always been a tip-toer.

I've walked on my toes for as long as I can remember. I recently made a conscious effort to stop, but I still do it sometimes when I'm not paying attention. As a result of toe-walking, I have the most muscular calves.

When I was little, one of the suggested careers for me was ballerina.

I enjoy standing and walking on my toes. It makes me feel my calves, and taller.

Yeah, I have horribly flat feet so I naturally get around by perching on my toes/the balls of my feet. it's weird how nobody notices since it's such an abnormal way of getting around(although, I might add, more comfortable than plodding around with gigantic, size 12, flat feet) and it's silent to boot.

I'm almost always barefoot as well, and my parents always get on my case about this.

Walking on tip toes comes naturally without me thinking about it but if I'm wearing shoes I've noticed that I usually don't.

sometimes i walk different when i stim with my hands. i don't walk on my toes though.

i used to do it as a child.

I tip toed a lot as a child.

Me too. I tiptoed a lot as a child and my parents and grandparents used to think I'd be a good ballerina. Unfortunately, I was also a complete clutz so that didn't last. I still run around on tiptoes now when I'm exceited and I like to go barefoot at home.
