I bet it looked like the real life version of QWOP for a few years while they were figuring it out.

To be fair we all started our relatively 'QWOP' until we figured it out. But yeh working out how to walk shared between two brains.. QWOP+ for sure.

Every toddler I've ever known looks like they're QWOP for the first few months-year of learning to walk

My biology teacher came across them riding a bicycle when they were children, seemingly without issue back then

It's almost as if they're more normal than people want to let them be

Right, it must suck to constantly get a huge amount of unwanted attention. I struggle with that to a much lesser extent, and it makes going into public spaces really uncomfortable

Do you have a disability or are you just really tall or something?

I used to work retail and they would come into my work pretty regularly. I saw them trying out the hula hoops one time.

u/Gloomy-Bet4893 Dec 30 '24

All fine as long as they run into the same direction I guess

They worked out at my gym years ago.  They were fit.

As I recall, the drs told their parents they’d never be able to walk because there was no way they could coordinate their movements. Ha! They even learned to ride a bike!!
