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 :)

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.
