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

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.

What thing happened to you as a child that you haven’t let go of to this day?

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

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

Gun owners, imagine if an attacker comes to your home and takes your gun to use against you before you had the chance to pick it up. Would you regret owning a gun?

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

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

What are some hard truths that MAGA needs to hear?

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 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.

What's a band that is really popular that you don't like? Why?

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

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

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

Have you ever had a bad gut feeling about someone and it was right?

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

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

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

Why do some men want to remain single despite the fact that many women want to have a romantic relationship with them?

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

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 feel like my boyfriend doesn't love me. Why?

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

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

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

Have you ever been instructed/forced to crossdress for the benefit of others?

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

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

Would you join a gym or workout at home and why?
