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?

  • I still walk on tiptoe, very rarely have bare feet, can just about walk on carpet bare foot but all hard floors are still on tiptoe. Swimming lessons at school were torture, a cold wet floor, if on holiday I always wear deck shoes when near a swimming pool.
