Just out of curiosity...

Ever since I've read some of the more obscure Asperger's Syndrome diagnosis criteria from the DSM-IV, I've been wondering this: How many aspies walk in a manner that may be considered atypical or strange? I was teased throughout my entire school existence for having 'bounced when I walked', anybody else have this problem or something like it? Just wondering.

I guess it's something I can relate to. My walk wasn't really awkward in a way that was tempting others to tease me; except for walking in crowds, it was just an 'NT-like' walk. However, when I walked into crowds I always kinda 'danced' my way through the people, just to avoid bouncing up against them. You know, just how a football player tries to make his way.

Other motorical issues that I have are with style-dancing (I can only do the Tango) and technique related sports, like soccer or ice-skating. On the other hand, I am good with my hands (throwing skills and the use of instruments) and athletics.

Aspies can have poor motor skills and be clumsy or awkward and yet have athletic or dancing skills.
