What are the signs of mild autism in a child?

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

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

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

Was there a British ‘genocide’ of Aboriginal Australians?

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

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

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

Can people who have never met you tell if you are a covert narcissist?

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

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

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

Why do entitled people demand that I pick up after my doggo when he goes to the bathroom? Do they not know that doggy doo decomposes & feeds the plants?

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

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

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

How do I come out as queer to my best friend in a funny and stupid way?

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

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

What are some downsides to living in Newfoundland and Labrador (besides the weather)?

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

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

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

What makes you feel guilty the most?

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

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

Are there really people who still believe the Earth is flat?

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

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

What has been your best sexual experience?

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

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

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

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

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