well is toe walking like walking on your tip toes? thats not the same as walking on your balls of your feet/forefoot.
interesting though, i'd never heard of a link between autism and "toe walking," but i suspect you are right, this is one of those situations where society has shoe-style-walking so heavily ingrained in our minds that we see something else (even if its natural) and think something must be wrong.
- Mz 16y agoOh, I'm sure it can be indicative of something. But I have two ASD kids and they are doing well in part because I was careful to not pathologize every little thing they did. Lots of things "normal" people do get viewed as pathological once someone qualifies for some label or other. I think that is extremely harmful. I really can't say for sure what they mean by "toe walking". I filter out a lot of what gets said as "noise".
