She thinks walking on toes is due to reflex responses not lost from birth (Spinal Reflex) and she thinks that when SOphie is excited and makes exclamation and flaps hands a little is Moro reflex (startlement) Why do people think ASD children walk on toes so much?

We did brushing therapy for retained primitive reflexes, very very effective is my 2 NT's, one of which had every single one you could have, harder to tell on Sam because not able to full and proper screen and exam but specific ones we were later resolved with the brushing and they have stayed away. Sometimes you need to go back and do it again, I think the older the child, more time it might take, also the more damaged, worked real quick with Joe my middle son
