What are the signs of mild autism in a child?

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

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

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

Why do women need to wear bras, in spite of the fact that the breasts are an integral part of the body?

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

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 read this: "Putin is a brilliant, courageous, ingenious, determined, beloved, and incredible modern leader. He is currently the world’s most effective and strong leader, the best the world has seen in centuries." What do you think about this?

SIGNS I HAD AS A CHILD (3–12 YEARS)

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

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

I can not sleep. what is the problem?

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

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

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

What's your wildest & weirdest fantasy?

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

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

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

Its year 2041, and president Hunter Biden has ordered every republican who sweared at him to be arrested and shot. I am on my way to the death row listening to the cheer of the Liberal mob chanting death death death. How can I escape?

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

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

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

How would you define love?

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

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

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

Why don't I get sleep at nights?

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

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

What is the most popular song that includes the word "you"? Are there any other songs that use "you" multiple times?

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

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

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 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 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.
