What are the signs of mild autism in a child?

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

I had problems to follow instructions and to follow rules, I always got in trouble for this one.

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

Why are there posts saying the T in LGBT should be dropped? With what is happening in the US and beyond against the trans community cause for concern that if this is accepted could it be deemed acceptable to start on the LGB community again?

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

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

Are you happy with your life?

SIGNS I HAD AS A BABY (0–2 YEARS)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I loved to run from one side to another side and jump a lot, I always did it everyday.

Qui eaque occaecati facere et.

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

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.

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

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

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

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