Are you a toe-walker?

Post Reply New Topic

My heels hurt, so no. I try to balance the weight however. I do find myself dragging my feet across the floor.

only when barefoot for some reason - especially around the house or when I get out of the shower. It really bugs my wife.

with shoes on I have a wierd shuffle but not on my toes - people say they can spot me 2 blocks away because of my 'funny walk'

I still toe walk and I was never aware of it until my ex husband started teasing me about it. I thought about it and I remembered that I always walked like that, since I was a child. I became self concious and I tried to control that, but after being unsuccessful, I decided, the hell with toe walking and everything (including not wearing too "many" clothes on me when I am at home, because it gives me discomfort and nervousness, progressing up to panick attacks). Who cares how I walk in the privacy of my own home. And the teasing was not meant to be malicious, the man just loved me and teasing was part of it. I only hope that I don't walk like that at work, without realizing. I stoped worrying about rocking at work, I caught myself rocking a lot, many times and I have been stared at also, while doing it. It was when I was stressed to extreme and it was not because of the poor patients (I can make even the "craziest" patient complient like a puppy, because they feel that I really care about them), but few co-workers, that come to work in a bitchy mood and want to make everybody's day s**t. Now I will stray from the subject and confess that being honest the Asperger way (naturally and naively) can be a bad thing at work. Recognizing that you don't know certain things about your job can be wrong, from NT's point of view...does anybody else experience that? Like working with people that pretend that they know everything and would not ask questions or admit that they don't know certain things? I have experienced that a lot. What is this fear of admitting that you don't know everything? You can't just learn thru spying like a monkey, at least I need to be taught and I need to know the logic and logistics behind it, otherwise it does not stick to my memory, because it does not make sense. Anyway, a never ending story about peculiarities of Asperger, to me it's not peculiarities or being excentric, it is just how every individual is. I never thought bad about people that cursed, or people that sweat, people that have a rash, or the flu... or G-d knows what else, that was vilified by society. If you are a good at heart peson, that's all that matters to me, you're good and I love you (not romantic love, that's another story).
