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

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

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

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

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.

The Roman Empire at the time of Christ kept meticulous records. Why then, is there no record of the trial of Jesus?

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

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

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

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