Lol, that 'little guy' has 2 inches on me!!

You could disapear by standing behind me. My former co-workers use to joke if there was an explosion at work that they would hope they were standing behind me so they could escape the shrapnel and fire. :lol:

I walk sort of bowlegged at home but usually walk normally in public unless I'm pushing my three-year-old's stroller. My brother, who seems to have more pronounced aspie traits, walks bowlegged all the time and has kind of a lumbering gait. My husband, who is bipolar, walks really slowly and, at times, pigeon-toed.

I used to walk really fast like I had somewhere I needed to be. Now I've slow down a good bit almost to the normal rate. I still need to make an effort to not do the things I probably did as a kid like walking on the edge of a curb or swinging myself around the lamp post.

Most people have something else going on while they are walking these days. It is a good time to people watch and pretend I have my own self important things to keep me busy. That and I notice that so many people are overweight these days. They get flushed in the face if they are required to walk up a little grade. If I shift my shoulders back, I feel like I could pretty much own the place, until an attractive woman catches my glance and I crumble.

I still walk really fast...even when I call myself walking slowly, I'm STILL walking faster than anyone else. When I'm with someone, they think I'm trying to ignore them or that I'm ashamed to be with them. I want to order them to WALK FASTER!

I have noticed that my gait/bowleggedness improves with regular physical exercise--weight machines and/or walking. Also, like others, I do tend to walk fast when I've got some place to go.
