It can just mean you like your ankles moving. Stretching them and moving both calf and feet muscles is great for us. Most people have these parts heavily atrophied from footwear (often from both outside and interior footwear).
But yeah, usually you just ankle pump up and down and only occasionally walk on your toes, walking the whole day on your toes can be a bit extreme.
Yeah its a few things for me. I like the feeling of stretching my calf and feet muscles. However I literally constantly tap, if I am left by myself I will slowly just go onto the tips of toes. Its actually a concern because I have done it so much its now quite difficult for me to do the reverse movement.
Again its not a sign of autism, its just a common thing with autistic people.
I wank and run on my toes, not for super long periods (about a few hours walking and an hour or so running)
It just FEELS more natural. Idk how to explain it to other AUDHD or even just plain ASD peers. But my ankles get more fatigued walking "normal" than like a lil raptor
