Did adults who walk on their toes (with a bounce to their step) have speech dela!


Question: Did adults who walk on their toes (with a bounce to their step) have speech delays as children?
My 2 1/2 year old son has sensory integration (also referred to as autism), walks on his toes, has delayed speech, can't stand to get hands dirty, etc. My husband also walks on his toes or rather with a bounce to his step (I don't exactly know how to describe it, but its not on tip-toe) and had delayed speech as a child. So I'm wondering is there a connection with men who walk on their toes (for lack of a better way to describe it) and a speech delay as a child?

Answers:

The connection is that both are symptoms of autism, especially the speech delay. Maybe your husband has mild autism. It's possible for someone to have an unusual walk and delayed speech without having autism, but non-autistic people with odd walks are not more likely to have a speech delay.

I'm on the autism spectrum



A speech delay is not a key symptom of Autism Spectrum Disorder, what you need to be looking for is if your son is reacting to other people around him and attempting to communicate his needs. Does he may eye contact and does he motions you for things.

Also, how well is he walking on his toes? if he has a natural talent for that, he has potential to be a great ballet dancer.

SOunds like you're trying to shift the blame on your husband so that you don't have to feel guilty about maybe doing something during your pregnancy.

You know what I hate about Yahoo Answers?? People Like Ciciey down there who will likely be picked because the are enablers they give the answer that people want to hear instead of the answer people need to hear.

The fact that I may be wrong doesn't bother me, If i'm wrong the world turns and good things continue, If I'm right I cold faced state something that needs to be addressed.
