I've been identified by strangers as being autistic based on the way I walk. It's sort of a perpetual falling motion with slapping feet, hunched shoulders, and arms that never swing. I've been told the arm-swinging thing is a red flag for autism.
oh? thats very similar to how i walk, i have a slight limp but ive been told i walk very heavy footed, i look tense and my arms never swing....weird, i thought that was normal? (but then again im not really looking up so i don't watch how other people walk) still it makes you feel less self conscious knowing other people do it.
it actually probably explains why some people talk down to me like i don't understand or something, even though ive never told them that i have aspergers (still shouldn't talk down to me even if i told them that though, annoying...)
