Possible physical/neurological issues associated with autism

Autismman

Just a curious question really to try gauge how strong physical/neurological issues can be linked to autism. For example I am red/green colour blind and have slightly webbed toes and fingers. I know hyper mobility is another indicator but does anyone have either or both of what I’ve described about myself? (This may seem like an odd question I know)

  • I’m 57 and can still climb easily, my big toes are shorter than my second ones, it seems upset my balance. I can still squat for long periods with my knees up to my chest, I often do this when working on vehicles, we we’re always told that sitting on concrete would give us piles, don’t know how true that is, but no plies!

    My coordination is not good, never could understand why others were able to catch, throw or kick a ball. If I’m sitting I often sit with my legs curled up under me. Other people just don’t seem so flexible.

    Yeah I can do that too, it’s quite comfortable to squat with your knees resting against your chest, is this a form of hyper mobility? It might seem a bit of an odd way to relax but when you need to be lower to the ground and stable it’s the best way of doing things
