Strange sitting positions?

Postby GAMGEE » Sat Jan 27, 2018 11:08 pm

I don't know if it's related to AS or not, but I seem to always have to sit in "weird" positions. I've done this ever since I was a child. When I sit in front of the computer, I often sit on my foot, or with the feet on the wall beside me (looks very strange, not gonna lie), or like L in Death Note (no, I did not obtain the behaviour from that show - when I watched it, I was like "wow! Another person that does it!") etc. Sometimes I twirl my legs around each other. I have this one position that I don't think I've ever seen anyone make, where I put the foot of leg 1 underneath the thigh of leg 2 and then put leg 2 over the knee of leg 1. VERY COMFORTABLE.

My mother often tells me to put my feet down when we're eating dinner - I tend to put my feet up on the chair. Not immediately, but maybe like 5-10 minutes into the dinner when I just can't stand it any longer. It's just uncomfortable to sit "normally". If I cross my legs, I often "sit like a guy" (as in not having the legs fully crossed but rather having one foot rested on the other knee), making me look not-at-all-feminine. If I am "forced" to sit normally, I tend to move around in my seat a lot. Does anyone else experience this?

having dyspraxia, i tend to sit almost horizontally. it's my back that bends, not my hip joints. my father is exactly the same.
something knocked me out' the trees
now i'm on my knees

there is one thing you must be sure of
i can't take any more
... don't you know you're gonna shock the monkey

When i was little i used to really like sitting with both my feet on my chair and my knees to my chest. Right now I'm sitting with both my feet on the couch with my laptop resting on my legs. I don't really like to sit with my knees to my chest anymore.

For me it's hard to be still in the same position for long. I get restless.
