My Son also walks on the balls of His feet, and He's 26. It's a Sensory thing.
I did have shoe inserts made for Him but it made Him more miserable because it made/Forced Him to use the most sensitive part of His feet.
WHat I ended up doing was pressing down on His shoulders and reminded Him to use His 'Whole Feet' repeatedly.
@A MyAutismTeam Member That did work, but at times I've only had to verbally remind Him and He complied.
