toe walking in children with autism

[shruti]

i agree with you, since these kids have behavioural crisis,many of them are hyperactive and have attention deficits, which makes them overactive and hence to receive early sensory stimulations they tend to walk in this manner and since they have attention deficits it becomes difficult to mend their gait pattern..........
people, kindly share ur views or if wana rectify mine and enlighten me with sum better concepts,ur most welcome!!!

dear Shruti,

I have not found any literature to back up this idea. Have you?

As for whether there is a sensory integration issue at play here I feel it is imperative that we all realize the brain is a sensory driven organ. Without afferent input there is no efferent response.

Exactly my view too...... There is saying about the Nervous system" We know a lot today, understand very little".
