What are the signs of mild autism in a child?

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

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.

Why do I sweat (mostly on face) when I eat usually spicy food?

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

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

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

How did China invent gunpowder but it was the European nations that went out and “conquered the world using firearms”?

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

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.

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

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

Why is the covert narcissist actively avoiding me when they see me everyday?

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

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

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

SIGNS I HAD AS A BABY (0–2 YEARS)

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

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

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

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.

What's the most trivial thing that ever made you go to the doctor?

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

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

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

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