Kind of random subject matter but not really as I was reflecting on all the telltale signs of autism I exhibited as a child yet managed to never get a diagnosis until age 25. I did walk this way but thankfully I grew out of it, as well as other OCD-esque habits associated with ASD.

I figured Atlas would have a large enough sample to get an idea.

Not diagnosed with any ASD stuff, but I do have an abnormal gait. Whether that's due to a knee injury I had some years ago or due to the NVLD I have that's similar-ish to Asperger's is something I do not know.

I'm not diagnosed with any ASD but I'm pretty sure I walk weird. I trip over my own feet and drag my feet a lot.

The fact that more than 38% of voters - myself included - have voted for the 'Not Autistic' option shows that while a large majority of posters are autisitic, there's a very sizable chunk of non-autistic posters.

 Not because of my autism, but because my right ankle is weaker than my left due to me spraining it twice.

I think I might? People comment on my walk sometimes. Apparently I stand very straight-up while walking and take very short steps.

I might be autistic enough that if I had an abnormal gait I wouldn't realize it.
