Does Anyone Know Why Many Children With Autism Tend To Run With Their Arms Straight Out Or Stiff At The Sides, Not Bent And Fists Forward?
A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭

It obviously is not an issue, I'm just curious because my son runs this way and I see many other children with autism running like this, too.

I was wondering the same thing. I never thought about Autism. My son is also on the spectrum. Did you found out something about it?

Now that you mentioned it my oldest son runs this way too. I just thought he was awkward until he was diagnosed with Asperger's.
