ASD children and tiptoeing? Is it sensory?

[lisad123isgoingcrazy]

DD2 seems to be doing it alot lately. Is it a senosry thing or somehting else? always wondered why. Most of the other things she does is easy to understand why.
TIA

funny you should say that but since ds back in school and having lots and lots of sensory overload ds has started walking on his toes....which never happed after about 6 months into ABA and now back. I thought it was diet but been on cfgf for 3yrs so I guess it is?
Anyone else know?

DS (asd) does this now and then, he had a phase earlier in the year of doing it a lot, probably a sensory thing as DS hates wearing slippers, tight shoes,... so maybe it feels good to him to walk like this sometimes.
DD (2.5, NT) is doing it lots and lots atm... not sure if she has seen DS do it and is copying him.

I remember tip-toe walking as a kid, not sure why i was doing it, it just felt natural to walk like this when i had no shoes on. But then again i had lots of traits when i was younger, and my mum has always said i was a strange child at times...

DD1 never did it either. I swear DD2 had more flags than DD1 but lucky for me i dont seem to have to fight atm
