Autism in Iraq, BBC News article + tiptoe walking

I think this mother is amazing:

I was interested in the tiptoe mention as I  hadn't realised it can be an autism thing.

I walked on tiptoe for years as a child.

Anyone else here did/does that too?

  • Thanks for sharing. What an amazing inspiring woman! 

    I still walk on tiptoes! I've done this all my life. I never put two and two together that it was an autism thing.

  • I've been giving this thought and I think I still did it in my 20s.

    I remembered one of my many embarrassing job interviews, where the interviewer asked if I did ballet as I sat with my feet in a certain position and I said no, but I do walk on tiptoe!
