What are the signs of mild autism in a child?

SIGNS I HAD AS A CHILD (3–12 YEARS)

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

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

How does one succeed in life?

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

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

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

How often do you watch the news on TV?

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

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

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

Delta Force selection is originally based on SAS selection, so why is there no brutal jungle phase for Delta Force? It seems like it's based only on the Brecon Beacons section.

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

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

Why am I attracted to older men?

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

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

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

SIGNS I HAD AS A BABY (0–2 YEARS)

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

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

Have you ever heard of the god Priapus being the same as the god Phosphorus?

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

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.

Why aren't U.S. prisons more like Marine Corps boot camp, were every second of the day there are mandatory activities so that at night everyone is so tired they go to sleep until wakeup at 5:30 am? Would this make prisons safer for all?

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

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

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 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.

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

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.

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

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.

What is a partner in crime?

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

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