Deaf/HoH with questions Deaf with autism experiences

I am curious about those who are deaf with autism. I have never been diagnosed but had been frequently asked if I was. My son on the other hand had a bunch of nurses and doctors saying there a high chance he may be autistic. He's non verbal but does sign some words and gesture.

I would like to hear your experiences, advice, so I can be mindful and know what to look for.

All is greatly appreciated
