What are the signs of mild autism in a child?

SIGNS I HAD AS A CHILD (3–12 YEARS)

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

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

Why do people believe that global warming is man made?

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.

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

I am married for 3 years. My husband keeps pressing my boobs 40-50 times a day. He never stops though I ask him not to. What I should do to stop it?

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

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

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

Why do untreated borderlines always blame their partners when they actually think they are normal?

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

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

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.

Do you have any attributes quirks sensitivities abilities etc that you've come to learn most people don't experience? E.g. dream with subtext or experience de ja vu regularly or know you experience life very differently from those around you etc?

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

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

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.

Why am I totally different than others? Why do I have a problem with my basic knowledge about society and reality? Why am I dumb and stupid?

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

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

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

What are the easiest stores for shoplifting?

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

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

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

SIGNS I HAD AS A BABY (0–2 YEARS)

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

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

Why should we share our wife with others?

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

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

I'm looking for an answer from people who consider themselves "Gender Critical", or transphobic, or TERFs, and my question is this - Why would you refuse to use the pronouns someone wants? What does it cost you? Where's the harm?

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

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.

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

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