This was suggested by mikehart18's topic "Looking on the ground while walking": http://www.wrongplanet.net/postt102349.html

It occurs to me that this might be a regular behavior for aspies/auties

edit: If you used to do this, but have broken the habit, please vote "yes"... I am interested if this is a natural habit for us.

I don't do it anymore, although I used to. These days, I normally look straight ahead, and at the same time take in the sights around me. I prefer walking with my chin up, literally.

But as I said, I used to always look at the ground while walking, pretty much until 2006. I think it's all part of coming out of my shell.

Well, some of the time, but like..

this poll is messed up.

I mean it's not like I DON'T look at the ground.
