I suppose we'd have to see if the tendency splits down the line of hypersensory or hyposensory. To me, a hypersensory autistic that does toe walk, I always figured I did it because your heel hitting the ground is both too loud and a bit of a jarring sensation physically too. I only know a handful of other Autistic people well enough to know if they are hyper or hypo and if they toe walk, but my limited data does line up that way. Would be interested to hear of any counter data/anecdotes.
