minus-squarestrawberry@kbin.runlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 year agohttps://psychcentral.com/autism/walking-on-tiptoes-autism#autism-and-toe-walking It’s believed that toe walking may be directly or indirectly due to a dysfunctional vestibular system — a condition commonly seen in autism. The vestibular system, which involves the inner ear and central nervous system (CNS), is what gives your body a sense of: balance position spatial orientation If the system isn’t working correctly, you can have difficulties with coordination and balance. so if im understanding correctly, autism can cause a messed up sense of ballance and spacial orientation, which in turn can lead to toe walking
