What are the signs of mild autism in a child?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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