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 have better than average colour vision, I used to have better than average hearing too, now it's normal for my age. I do have slight hypermobility, mostly in my fingers.

    I have heard that high numbers of allergies is associated with autism in women, if that the case it would explain why I'm known at the doctors as 'the woman who's allergic to everything'.

    I don't have webbed toes or fingers, but my feet are flipper shaped, although I swim like a brick.
