My son runs on his tip toes. We used to laugh too because we thought it was cute as well.

Unfotunately, it is not soo cute anymore now that he is three. I am worried about other kids making fun of him.

at what age did it start and was it steady once started? Did you try stopping him/her from doing it? Anybody whose child did NOT tip toe and still diagnossed with Autism?

My son also tiptoe walked. He is 4 yrs. old now and was diagnosed with Autism when he was 18 mo. old. He rarely tiptoe walks anymore. We only see him do that once in a blue moon now. If you son has an occupational therapist they can help him with that. They put ankle wieghts on my son; actually they used wieghts that were meant as wrists wieghts for adults for excercising. They put them on his ankles and the wieghts didn't make him walk flat because of the wieght itself but because of his proprioceptive sensory issues. An occupational therapist should be able to evaluat your child and tell you what type of sensory issues they have. I hope that helps. Good Luck!!

Hello Paula,
it is such a mystery, Autism that is.... it is good to hear that your 16 yr old is fine eventhough he tiptoed (one sees this sign and worries set in...) I hope your 3 yr. old will be OK--

Yes that was what my doctor called a "toe walker", which was simply just another so called Idea/diagnosis they could add to the list of " quirky " things they do.
I am writing you this letter in the hopes of some desperate
assistance in Nevada. I have a young Autistic adult son,
19yrs old, ( Vincent Ortiz ). I understand the dilema you are going thru.
You are not alone. I will be happy to talk to you any time, if anything
just to listen and support each other.
I will make this brief and to the point.
I am a single mom working many
hrs 7 days a week, savings is now gone in an attempt to pay
on my own for caregivers.
My son has severe "episodes" at which he can bite/scratch/pull hair or
all of the above. These behaviors all began over the last couple of
years and are progressively getting worse.He is 5 foot 10 185 pounds.
I am 5 foot 2. I can not restrain him when he attacks.
I desperately need HELP now.
There are NO group homes or facilities who take children and/or young
adults w/ Autism here in Nevada. The state treats Autism like it is a dirty word.
I am in fear for the safety of myself and my daughter as we have been
attacked a cpl times now without a caregiver here full time.
I was thinking there are several folks in the same dilema as myself
here in Nevada as well as across the country..
I would like to know if you could :
1.) assist with helping me open a
RANCH FOR AUTISM here in Nevada. Pahrump still has land low
priced and it's far enough out that folks who don't understand Autism
will feel comfy, yet it is close enough for medical needs.
I know exactly what these children need to make their life
complete and busy with a scheduled routine and space to roam.
I know that I could sucessfully provide the care and know how to
make it a wonderful structured environment for the children.

For instance:
an equestrian area
music program
arts n crafts
a green house
pool / spa
trampoline
swings
merry-go-round
sand box
walking paths

2.) help / steer / assist me w/ getting some families
together that are looking for longterm placement for their
young adults where they will be loved and cared for as if we were there
ourselves. Home-like environment with plenty of activities to keep them
busy and fulfilled. We need 20 committed families that have a young adult
who needs the special care and guidance the Ranch for Autism will provide.
We all know as parents we can not be there forever for our loved ones.
I know I do not want my son to be institutionalized when I can't be there
for him any longer. Of course our children can have visits ( home or on site)
anytime. You may have the connections, knowledge to get this request
completed. You may know someone with acreage ( we need approx. 50 acres )
that needs a tax write-off, or a family member willing to donate.
Maybe help get a fundraiser, some attorney's, doctors, wealthy
folks. Get the community involved! I have faith in you. Together we can pull
all resources and do this.
I currently have an investor to meet/match up to $800K, which is about
1/3 of what we need to reach our goals.
Please contact me with any contacts / ideas that you may have.
God Bless!

Respectfully,

Yes, my child tip toed as a toddler and is still tip toeing as a 4 year old. I am growing more concerned about it. We took her to an orthopedist when she was 3 years old, and he diagnosed her with "habitual tip toe walking". He said she would grow out of it. However, it's a year later, and she has not improved. Her peer are starting to notice and describe her as the one who tip toes. I don't want her to start pre-K in the fall and be made fun of once she enters school. Any suggestions?????
