What are the signs of mild autism in a child?

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

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

Why do doctors refuse HRT to menopausal women but hand them out to trans people?

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

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

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.

Why do people have trouble accepting the very true fact that "The Blue Marble" photo of Earth is a composite and therefore (just like every other subsequent "picture" of Earth NASA has ever shown us) not a real photo but computer generated?

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

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

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

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.

How is a narcissist likely to handle situations when confronted with hard truths about themselves?

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

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

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

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

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

Where can I get sure fixed matches on Instagram?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.
