What are the signs of mild autism in a child?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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 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.
