While watching Mozart and the Whale recently, I noticed the character Isabelle walking backwards to face someone talking behind her. I don't know if this was intended to acknowledge one of her AS traits, but I wonder about it because I used to do that all the time. It was interesting because I was actually less clumsy when I walked backwards than forwards. I was walking backwards with my dad and stepmother one day, and Dad said that I should have been a reporter/journalist because I was so good at it. I could be walking backwards and look at someone while I was interviewing them. An Aspie trait or just something unique to me?

Actually, I can't walk backwards, and I hate doing it. It's difficult for me.

Well I know with ice skating I am much much better going backwards than forwards. I can walk pretty good backwards but I am still clumsy so I suppose that's relative.

Sometimes when im out shopping food, im sometimes walk backwards to get a look at something few meters behind, even without thinking about it. never really thought of it as strange before.
