I think that people jumped the gun to fast to the conclusion that he is autistic. I've known some people with autism and none of Onion's behaviour would fit the charactaristics of someone with autism.

Someone pointed out that the reason Onion isn't drawn with ears is because he doesn't have any. He is deaf. He speaks in mumbles because he never learned how to speak, cause he couldn't hear anything. Actual people that are born deaf speak in mumbles.

He always looks to people when they speak, which makes him able to read lip.

This is just speculation, but it makes more sense to me.
