My ASD son sits in the "W" position when he is playing on the floor, sitting on his bottom with his knees up front and feet at his sides. He has ligamentous laxity and is very bendy. My brother and I also used to sit that way and sometimes still do, as do some of my other children.

I sit hunched forward a lot and often sit on one leg.

I sat that way when I was a kid. Now I tend to sit on top of my feet, with my feet flat. The W turned into a V. I can only do this so long before my feet fall asleep though.

I prefer cross-legged on chairs or couches and I really feel comfortable sitting on kitchen floors. I have favorite places on a few different kitchen floors. And none of my friends mind. :)

My son prefers to sit under tables, but I don't think I've ever seen him do it at home.
