Also, not moving shoulders and arms. This should come automatically.

My mom says I walk like my dad(who I'm nearly certain must have had Aspergers, too) and others comment that I walk "like a guy" or that I walk kinda strange. What ever it is that I do apparently my odd walking style gets even worse(or better depending on how you want to think about it)when I wear a skirt. Anyhoo, I don't know if it's Asperger's or something unconnected. Also I tend to look at my feet as I walk though I think that is mostly to cut down on too much visual stimulation in certain situations.tickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01640956043634618193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4841851020927689161.post-33680425414951181292017-03-25T14:04:35.766+11:002017-03-25T14:04:35.766+11:00So, this is a bit out there...

Background, I've never been diagnosed with Asperger's, but my son has, and I certainly share a lot of traits with him.<br /><br />This post made me think of a comment I got, oh, 30 years ago. I grew up in the same small town my great-grandfather moved to circa 1900. I was in the local high school talent show, and afterward a little old lady I didn't know came up to me, congratulated me, and told me I walked just like my great-grandfather. I've never known what to make of that.<br /><br />I don't think of myself having an "unusual gait". But something in how I walk caught the eye of someone who associated it with someone I never met who had been dead nearly 40 years at that point. This feels like the first thing I've ever heard which might make sense of that.<br /><br />SFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02815984722071185197noreply@blogger.com
