Adults with ASC - Walking

IntenseWorld

Do any of you other adults with ASC find when you are walking your legs (and even arms) feel sort of awkward, like you are walking too consciously and it can feel like your limbs are not even yours sometimes as it doesn't feel natural walking?

  • I'm always so concious of my arms when walking, they hang by my sides or my left one swings ever so slightly, if I try to make them swing like other people's I end up looking like I'm marching. If I concentrate on swinging my arms I become too aware of how my legs are moving and I feel so weird and awkward and as if I'm walking in a strange manner. I tend to wear hooded tops/coats with pockets so I can walk with my hands in my pockets, makes it so much easier.
