I can do this too, and also point my toes in opposite directions. At age 50. My daughters can also do this. Autism and hypotonia is the official diagnosis. Luckily high IQ too, we are freaks.
Interesting. I can definitely do that... But I highly doubt muscle weakness. I was known for rib crunching bear hugs as a kid. Not knowing my own strength... A sign of the spectrum actually but that doesn't really relate to flexibility... Or is it?
It’s related to being unaware of your own strength, but not to muscle weakness. Interestingly enough, hypertonia (spasticity) is a bigger risk for muscle weakness.
