So I am contemplating the afos as my sons ped and his cranial secral doc believe they don't help out??!

You need to address the overgrowth of yeast. Check out www.tacanow.org

We put one pound ankle weights on my 3 year-old and later duct taped them on because she could get out of them. It didn't seem to have any effect and later gave up on that one. She still toe walks on occasion.

Hello, I have an 11 year old boy and I've been dealing with this issue as well. I'm going to meet with a podiatrist to see what options I have for my son since he does toe walking.

Thanks @A MyAutismTeam Member ! Lots of great info. I hope your sons toe walking improves!
