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

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

Why do all the stupid people think Donald J. Trump is stupid?

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.

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

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

I am 11 years old and I think I am going through puberty. Why do my nipples hurt when I touch them? Is it normal?

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

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

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.

What is the most overrated pleasure? Why?

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

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

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.

Why can't the ISS take a picture of Earth and prove to the Flat Earth Society that Earth is not really flat?

SIGNS I HAD AS A CHILD (3–12 YEARS)

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.

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

You hold the door open for a lady and she stops in her tracks and screams at you, ‘Don’t hold the door for me! I’ll get it myself!’ What are your feelings or immediate reaction?

I had limited interest in another children, I normally played just with my brother but no other children. I occasionally played with my cousins.

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

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

Why did my 2001 4.6 liter Mustang GT V8 make "only" 260 HP while today's base Dodge 3.6 liter V6 churns out almost 300 HP? Both benefit from fuel injection and ECUs.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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