Is Renarin Kholin on the autism spectrum?
Brandon Sanderson (paraphrased)
Slightly—not even so much as Asperger's, but yes. *Something about it being difficult to notice/diagnose?*

What influenced the creation of the writing system in Warbreaker?
I'd been writing a lot of kind of grungy books, Mistborn and Elantris are both sort of grimy, and my editor pointed that out and suggested I write something colorful.
What would life on Nalthis be like for someone with synesthesia?
Synesthesia on Nalthis isn't something I'd considered, but it would probably be about the same. Unless you had a lot of Breath, at which point things would get weird.
How much control do you have over the Words of Radiance cover?
Some. By dint of being fairly well-known in the industry. But I'm really fond of Whelan's work and more likely to pick a direction from concept sketches than push Whelan somewhere entirely new.
Could you, for instance, hold firm for epicanthic folds on Rosharan characters?
Probably yes, but most of Whelan's cover work has been figures in the distance for now so that isn't likely to be an issue.
How long before the events of Elantris did Odium kill Aona/Devotion and Skai/Dominion?
Same time as the origins of the seons.
Given that we now know that Odium can 'make it possible' for people to use magic that draws on him on other planets, has he done this anywhere besides Roshar?
Odium has been active on all other planets, including several we haven't seen yet.
