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.

    It must have taken a real effort for him to alter his way of walking, since that's not something that's easy to do.  I had a similar problem after losing the balance mechanism in the my left ear and walking that way made me feel less likely to fall over.  Learning  to walk 'properly' again was very, very difficult.

    yes it was difficult, but he did really well, its almost completely gone now , hes put ina lot of effort to be 'normal' , at least on the surface so he can function in 'normal' society 

    well, you did it tho didnt you :-D, and i have a lot of admiration for people who do that, put a lot of effort into it and go for it when it might hurt them and even if they dont get it 'right'

    every day i learn a wee bit more about autism and the difficulties autistics/aspies face , i have a bit more admiration for both sides of it, ie autistics and their families
