What are the signs of mild autism in a child?

I had trouble answering questions about topics that didn't interest me or I just didn't answer.

I made too much eye contact, I just stared at people's eyes for very prolonged times often causing discomfort.

My reaction with other children apart from my close family approached me was mostly walking away or hitting them.

I was a calm baby, I didn't cry that much and I didn't need another person's entertainment.

I used to hit my siblings very often, that was my way of playing with them.

What should you do if a police officer comes to your house and asks for someone who doesn't live there anymore?

I was under sensitive to bowel and bladder feelings but other Interoceptive feelings felt just too much.

I was over or under sensitive to most sensory input causing sensory seeking oravoiding reactions.

I didn't pretend play like the other children. I didn't know how to do that specially with other children.

I always had a justice sense, if there was no equality or justice I would get very upset about that.

I loved to stay alone in my room drawing or playing with my legos, I could do that for hours.

I had a fantasy world, I was always there and that was the best place to be, when I was anxious I went there and zone out.

I had limited interest in another children, I normally played just with my brother but no other children. I occasionally played with my cousins.

I woke up and threw all my toys away from my crib and start crying.

I learned many skills like reading and writing earlier than other children.

What are the bitter truths of life one should know?

I didn't have a social smile and I sometimes had exagerated facial expresions or just expressionless.

SIGNS I HAD AS A CHILD (3–12 YEARS)

I had trouble to be fed. I ate slower and it was difficult for me to stop drinking from the bottle or breast. I also had trouble eating solid food.

I also didn't group play, I was physically close to those children but I was parallel playing most of the time.

I will answer this question showing my signs of autism I had as a child:

I wasn't unable to get non verbal communication and non literal communication too.

When have you been in an accident where the other person involved blatantly lied to the police about what transpired?

I interacted with older or younger children and if I didn't have that chance I talked to some teachers.

I watched some films over and over again specially my favourite scenes.

It was very difficult for me to get social cues so I had inappropriate responses many times.

I had trouble sharing objects and food, normally someone had to tell me to give them something. I sometimes didn't want people to have my objects to the point of meltdowns.

I used to bite my fingers and hands to self regulate. I sucked my thumb sometimes too.

I copied people from TV shows or films, their way of walk, talk and personality.

I didn't know why people felt happy or sad in determined situations.

These are my resumed signs of autism when I was a child. Most of them got overlooked because the only thing about autism my parents and grandparents knew was about very severe cases of autism. Another factor is that I was born female (I'm trans) and that I masked from a young age.

I was very obsessed with angry birds, I played angry birds, I had ab toys, I watched ab in TV and I was so obsessed with that.
