    Man, even that was a sign!? Is everything I’ve ever done just textbook autism?

      If you’re as old as me the only thing books ever mentioned on [behavior now correlated with autism] is that some kids do it but they’ll “grow out of it.”

      Not necessarily a sign; just a common quirk to have with the condition.

      Not all toe-walking is related to autism: it can also be musculoskeletal or related to other psychological conditions; and at the same time, not all autistic people walk like this.
