Some autistic children do walk on their toes, this is related to sensory issues. Autistic people are more sensitive to sensation, this doesn't mean we have higher senses but that our brains are more sensitive to stimulation via the senses. In the case of toe-walking it's often because the feeling of your whole foot hitting the floor can feel like it resonates throughout your body.
