Do autistic people share some parts of body language with NTs, do they have their own body language or do we (wrongplanet members and other people with diagnosed ASD) appear random? My question is motivated by curiosity :)

I don't know, it's hard to analyze one's own body language from an external perspective.

All I know is that as a teenager I was very disappointed by how on video I was clearly a dork character, not a smooth character. :oops:

I was always criticised by my mother for taking too big steps when I was walking, hanging my shoulders forward, even cycling using too big a gear. But when I dance, I move really fluid and supple.
And my sibling, who also is autistic, always tripped over her feet or fell of their bicycle.
Clumsy, would be the word to describe us.

Autistic people have body language ..? ? .Hard to know , I had body language ? I read about it in other people.
And started to watch for it.If I thought to..? but did not hardly ever remember to look for it. But it was eye opening, and realized . That sometimes ,I could now see when people actually started to be disinterested in what, I was saying
And I knew to quit talking. Even in mid-sentence. And noticed that they did not seem to even notice, when I shut up.
:(
