Ah, I didn’t know that. Thanks!
EDIT: She’s a holocaust denier, which I didn’t know. Guess she is a nazi after all!

She is very much a TERF, an acephobe, kinda racist (just look at her character names), and therefore quite a horrible person;

Not necessarily a sign; just a common quirk to have with the condition.
Not all toe-walking is related to autism: it can also be musculoskeletal or related to other psychological conditions; and at the same time, not all autistic people walk like this.
I have a habit of sneaking up on people like this, too; and yeah, not all toe-walking is related to autism, just as not all autistic people do this.
Just “autistic toe walking”. I myself have no sources, sadly, but it’s widely reported and documented.
There can be a few reasons. Sensory, coordination, neurological… Usually it simply feels more natural.
A common quirk of autism is putting pressure on the fronts of your feet (though rarely as high as this) while walking.
I do it a bit, but the only sign that I am is that my shoes wear down on the front faster than other people, while the heel generally stays intact.
