| My child has always walked oh his tip toes. We used to laugh about how cute it was. ↑ |
| yes my son tiptoed as a toddler in fact he sometimes still does it. he would even try to run on tip toes. ↑ |
| he reminded us of fred flinstone ↑ |
| My son runs on his tip toes. We used to laugh too because we thought it was cute as well. ↑ |
| Unfotunately, it is not soo cute anymore now that he is three. I am worried about other kids making fun of him. ↑ |
| at what age did it start and was it steady once started? Did you try stopping him/her from doing it? Anybody whose child did NOT tip toe and still diagnossed with Autism? ↑ |
| My son also tiptoe walked. He is 4 yrs. old now and was diagnosed with Autism when he was 18 mo. old. He rarely tiptoe walks anymore. We only see him do that once in a blue moon now. If you son has an occupational therapist they can help him with that. They put ankle wieghts on my son; actually they used wieghts that were meant as wrists wieghts for adults for excercising. They put them on his ankles and the wieghts didn't make him walk flat because of the wieght itself but because of his proprioceptive sensory issues. An occupational therapist should be able to evaluat your child and tell you what type of sensory issues they have. I hope that helps. Good Luck!! ↑ |
| yes he does, he will be walking normal then all of a sudden he will get up on his tip toes, he has been trying to fun and he lokks so silly, he can not quite get it and he will get up on his tip toes when he is trying to run.....he is 2 today!!!!!! ↑ |

Hello Paula,
it is such a mystery, Autism that is.... it is good to hear that your 16 yr old is fine eventhough he tiptoed (one sees this sign and worries set in...) I hope your 3 yr. old will be OK-- ↑ |
