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:

SIGNS I HAD AS A CHILD (3–12 YEARS)

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

If Russia needs the resources to fund the war in Ukraine, why doesn’t it throw open its doors to visa free western tourism? Enough people would be interested, & it would start to get some hard currency as €, CHF, £, SEK, $, JPY in the tills at shops.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

It’s been over a month since I stopped taking sertraline but why do I still feel side effects like brain zaps and anxiety mood changes? The root cause of anxiety it’s your thinking and I perfectly master that better than before so it’s hard lately.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.
