    Toe walking is a fairly common childhood autistic trait and one of the main things researchers associated with it early on.

      I even ran on my toes, never was diagnosed. It’s funny (not actually) reaching adulthood and everything start making sense.

        Running on the balls of your feet is a sprinting technique. It’s what a lot of people do. So not a definitive trait of autism.

          Also good for distance running … Or just all running. The impacts absorb in soft tissue when the knee is bent instead of in the knee joint.
