I am often looking up and guiding myself periphrially...Flakey looks at his feet too much.
Supposedly it is a bad habit to get into....there was something about it on PBS.

Yeah, I did that as a kid all the time. Totally sensory overload if I had looked up while I went - I couldn't walk and take in and process the visual information at the same time.

This sensory problem solved itself throughout the years, I now can look up and walk at the same time like other people.


Can relate to this. It's like a dizzy feeling when I try to look around and walk at the same time.

Does anyone else find that if they put thier hands in thier pockets because they're too concscious of them, they suddenly feel too rigid to pull them back out again?? Maybe that's just me :roll: .
