What are the signs of mild autism in a child?

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

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

If the world was flat, would it be possible to see Mount Everest if it was on the other side of the Earth on a clear sunny day?

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

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

Can supporters of gun control explain the purpose behind a gun registry?

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

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.

How did the trans issue metastasize within just a decade from being a question of kindness and tolerance to a tiny minority to convulsing a whole society?

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

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

What disgusts you?

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.

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

What exactly is the boundary men should follow while looking at girls so they don't call them perverts?

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

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

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

What is your daily motivation and does it work?

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

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.

How far back into your childhood can your remember and what is your favorite memory of that time?

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

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

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

What are some cute stories with your crush?

SIGNS I HAD AS A CHILD (3–12 YEARS)

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

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

What is your craziest/worst Halloween story?

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

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.

SIGNS I HAD AS A BABY (0–2 YEARS)

Why didn't my ex fight for our relationship? He gave up so easily.

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

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

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