Possible physical/neurological issues associated with autism

I don't have the same issues as you describe but did a bit of research as these were not traits I had prevously seen attributed to autism.

There are quite a lot of research articles about the colour blindness link to autism but all the ones I saw had a sample size of 20-30 people which I consider low for meaningful results.

There does seem a corrolation however:

The present findings showed that both the autistic and AS groups display a high proportion of color vision defects—about 30% of the sample studied.

I note that they differentiate on autism and AS (Aspegers Syndrome) based on higher IQ & speech skills = AS, lower = autism. They acknowledge it is controversial but wanted a clearer way to see if there is any corrolation.

As for the webbed digits, there also seems to be a link to autism:

Genetic factors may play a role in influencing both webbed toes and autism risk. Some genetic syndromes associated with syndactyly, such as Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome, have also been linked to an increased likelihood of autism. This overlap suggests that there may be shared genetic pathways or developmental processes that contribute to both conditions. 

I note this is still an area of active research so the results are far from set in stone as of yet.

What you describe just sounds like (uncommon) autistic traits after reading this - all related to the wiring of your brain and the effects on your bodies development.

Thanks for raising these subjects - I really had not seen them linked with autism before.

Thanks for that, I know digestive issues are common such as constipation, not sure if this is due to a difference in wiring or it’s due to increased anxiety among autistic people.
