What are the signs of mild autism in a child?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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