What are the signs of mild autism in a child?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

It is common sense that Joe Biden is ruining America and is unfit to be president, but why are the liberals still supporting him when Trump is obviously a much better fit for office?

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

I used to hit my siblings very often, that was my way of playing with 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 was over or under sensitive to most sensory input causing sensory seeking oravoiding reactions.

What’s the worst thing you caught anyone in your family doing?

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

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.

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

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

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