Do you tilt your head when you're talking with someone, or walking, or reading?
Today, I was walking in an urban area, and noticed a man about to cross the street. As he walked, he had his head tilted, very much like Rain Man. Obviously I don't know if he is autistic because I didn't ask him, but I realized that I might actually look kind of like this when I tilt my head.
I already knew I tilted my head often during conversations, especially with my therapist, unless I'm consciously controlling the tilt of my head to make sure I'm up straight. But I hadn't thought about how it might look to others and how obvious it might be, and whether it might be an aspie trait.
After researching a while on the internet, most search results talk about some strange head-tilt autism test for babies, so I haven't been able to find a definitive answer on whether this is an autistic thing in adults or not.
So have you noticed this behavior for yourself? If so, when and how often?
