Grey ,getting whiter. If I let my beard grow out, it is white. I don't know why the hair on my face is lighter than the rest of my hair. At my age, I am thankful to even have hair.

I'm naturally blonde but I dye it dark brown and I always keep my hair short.

Originally brown, could sun-bleach to near blonde, but now is mostly gray. I started getting gray hair in my mid twenties. Still a full head of hair, though.

TBH, this is a rather informal poll considering that I'm going to say people who are self-diagnosed can post in the poll. But if there's clear correlation I think there should be a reputable poll and some sort of researcher should be informed.
I figure, ginger hair is caused by a chromosomal(iirc) genetic mutation(go on Wikipedia or w.e, it is), and most research points to autism being a chromosomal genetic mutation.
So yeah. Just vote in the poll and I'll make some sort of graphic representation(idk, bar chart or w.e) when say 10-20 people have voted.
NATURAL HAIR COLOURS ONLY. DYING OBVIOUSLY DOESN'T COUNT. LOL.

Flawed hypothesis. ASD's are under-diagnosed in poor and minority communities, so you'll see a higher proportion of "white" traits like lighter hair colors for reasons that have nothing to do with ASD.
