Not sure if I can post here, but does anyone else have this behavior? Like for no reason you put a foot on its side, until you notice it hurts so bad hahaha. (Yes, I have to clean the sneakers as well hahaha)
Hope you have a nice day :)

Fellas, is it autistic to have long legs in a world of short chairs?
I’m 5’2 and do this (when I can) which is…thought provoking. I just like the feel.
Sometimes. It’s relaxing somehow.
🤔 May I express my doubts, that this is a trait of… anything? (It might prove that one has at least one foot though.)
A nice day to you as well.
Yes, while standing, too. Kind of perched like a bird on one leg.
Either like a flamingo of on the sides of my feet.
It’s painful while standing, but I still do it
Yes. Literally while reading this.
Yes, but I think always my right foot. Literally right now. But also I probably don’t have autism
I’ll do that. Or pull a foot back onto its tiptoes. Or cross heels. Or tuck one foot under the opposite knee. Basically anything except flat on the floor.
If you happen to find that you’re slightly more flexible than default people you may want to look into EDS it’s super common in people with autism or ADHD.
Funny ways of sitting often come from body parts not being supported fully :P
It’s also worth mentioning that hypermobility can occur without EDS, so it’s probably not worth worrying about unless it’s causing pain or other symptoms.
Yeah, my wife has hEDS as well as being diagnosed with ADHD and Autism… it’s a terrible hand to be dealt, especially in your 30s… but we make do!
I can stand like that and do that if Istood regular for long times.
I’m not autistic (as far as I know) and I have always sat like that, but I put my other foot on top of the sideways one. I switch feet when it hurts, but favor the right as the sideways foot.
Constantly! When I was a kid I used to sit with my chair legs on top of my feet. The pain was oddly soothing.
Yes, and lots of ankle circles
I shifted my phone to the side and saw this exact foot placement. Yes.
Don’t know if it’s an ASD thing, though… I do have more uncommon posturing than most people. Need a bigger sample size and a control group.
Atypical posture and dyspraxia have been shown to be correlated with autism in studies, but I don’t know that there’s a specific explanation for why.
Hypermobility disorders are highly comorbid with autism.
I can guarantee you that autistic and neurological people might as well do this equally.
Hahaha. No.
Yes, and then my ankle hurts and I regret it.
I also tend to stand with one leg out like a ballerina for some reason.
Yes, always! This is how I killed all my past shoes…I think
