What are the signs of mild autism in a child?

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

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

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

Why do I feel like something bad is going to happen to me?

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

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

SIGNS I HAD AS A CHILD (3–12 YEARS)

Why do older siblings always hate younger siblings?

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

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

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

What is the reason behind some people referring to themselves as "nice guys" instead of simply being nice?

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

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

Humans have evolved and become hairless and odor free. How do other races learn about evolution since evolution does not apply to them?

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.

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

What is the gayest experience you have seen in prison?

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

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

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

My wife admitted to cheating on me with a married man. Should I tell this man and his wife that I know?

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

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

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.

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

What should I do if I love someone who does not love me?

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

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

What is the most interesting question you can ask to get to know someone?

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

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.

What is the worst emotional pain you ever felt as an adult?

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

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