What are the signs of mild autism in a child?

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

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

How did you respond to, "Why do you love me"?

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

SIGNS I HAD AS A CHILD (3–12 YEARS)

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

Have you ever really seen aliens or UFOs by yourself? Can you share your experience?

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

Is there anything wrong with me because I'm still single?

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.

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

Joe Biden is not the best president we had. That would be John F. Kennedy. How is voting for Donald Trump any worse than voting for Joe Biden?

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

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.

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 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.

Why do so many people seem to hate Nickelback? They're competent and entertaining, and while they certainly aren't the absolute best music, they're still a fun listen.

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

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

SIGNS I HAD AS A BABY (0–2 YEARS)

Ive been pretending to be okay and acting as normal as possible, but Im actually completely heartbroken after a recent breakup. Its painful and really affecting me, to the point where I cant concentrate at work, Ive lost my appetite, I cant sleep, and It feels as if my whole world has been turned upside down. I loved him so much. He said so many cruel things to me and it made me realize he must not have loved me the way I loved him, or he wouldnt have said such horrible things. How do I handle the heartbreak and why cant I accept that he didnt love me and just forget about him?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Is there anything you did that you regret? If so, what is it, and why?

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.

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

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