What are the signs of mild autism in a child?

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

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

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

Why do old men think young women and girls would want them over guys their own age?

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

SIGNS I HAD AS A CHILD (3–12 YEARS)

Why didn't my ex fight for our relationship? He gave up so easily.

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

Can you explain the difference between being a conservative Republican and a liberal Democrat? Can you provide some examples of their ideologies?

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

What do you wear when you are alone at home?

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

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

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

Anything could make me laugh to the point of annoying other people.

SIGNS I HAD AS A BABY (0–2 YEARS)

Why doesn't speeding significantly decrease one’s commute time? I've done a lot of road trips and driving and have experimented by increasing speed by 10–20%, but somehow this never equates to arriving 20% sooner, even on clear roads.

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

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

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

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

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

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