Do physical problems coincide with Autism?

AnneMargaret

I think i read, possibly on here possibly not, a while ago that walking problems can sometimes be believed to be related to Autism.

Does anyone know anything or can anyone elaborate?

I have extremely lax joints and ever such slight walking problems - i walk slightly off balance, we have just found out one leg is shorter than the other possibly from an operation but my legs are out of line and i am getting pains in my knees, hips and back. My feet roll badly inwards and i have had physio off and on for about 10years. Because my joints are so lax my ankles/legs cannot support my feet.

Everything is going wrong physically at the minute.

Does anyone know anything?

Thanks. Anne.

  • Hey Anne, 


    Meant to mention my son wears shoes specially designed for hyper mobility in his ankles as normal shoes lead to him constantly twisting ankles.  Hyper mobility can be quite painful.   He has hypermobility in most joints with the exeption of his knees, so if you imagine all of the muscles are working ever so hard to support the joints that it will lead to exhaustion.  My advice to you would be to speak with your healtcare provider about the possiblity of looking into why your leg joints are so lax (if possible ask your physio to write a short note to your doctor)
