Is this only exclusive to Autisim?

Is walking on tip toes regurley only something people with AS and autisim do or can NT's also do this as well?

I swear i have seen NT people walk on tip toes as a habit but then agian maybe there also closer to the sepctrum than i think. I think maybe more quircky NTs would do this habit of walking?

It's typically seen in those w/ ASD's or those w/ developmental delays. Although an NT ballet dancer may do it out of habit .

No, of course not.

There are physical ailments and defects that can cause this as well.

Frankly, there are almost NO symptoms that are totally unique to one single condition.

If by 'toes' you mean the front of your feet then yes. I do this whenever I take my shoes off.

Both NTs and Aspies do it, but I think those on the spectrum do it more by natural instinct than NTs do, so we generally do it more often.

People with just sensory processing problems can toe walk.
Tightened achille's heel can cause it too.

As well as several other things.

I usually do it when reaching for an object a few inches above my head.
