What are the signs of mild autism in 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.
