there are many many conditions which cause toe walking, not just autism!
You're absolutely right you can't diagnose just on the basis of one symptom, but it is a fact that there is a strong correlation between those on the spectrum and toe walking - not that I'm saying there's anything wrong with being on the spectrum anyway. Guy's general behaviour and views on the world would also strongly point to this (take excerpt regarding gyms above!) - again nothing wrong with it and more power to him for achieving what he has anyway.
