What are the signs of mild autism in a child?

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.

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

Why are people so rude to debt collector’s? I am one and I am so tired of being mistreated. We are under paid and then have to deal with the most ungrateful, and disrespectful people. We aren’t customer service. Don’t get mad at us because YOU owe.

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

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

Why can’t my wife just accept the fact that I’m going to cheat?

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

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

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

Why does Boko Haram attack its own Muslims?

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

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

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

Why are many women so drawn or attracted to men that have been or are currently in prison and men that are involved in street life/illegal activities?

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

SIGNS I HAD AS A BABY (0–2 YEARS)

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

What is the sum of X+XX+XXX+XXXX?

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.

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

I committed the unpardonable sin. God immediately punished me so that I can no longer think like before and my brain is as if paralyzed and does not work. I've tried everything (confession, repentance, etc.) nothing helps. Any advice?

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 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.

What are the reasons for your political affiliation with the Democratic party? What are some aspects of the party that you support and some that you do not?

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

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

Is it appropriate for parents to discipline their child in public if the child is being rude, disrespectful, and unruly towards them? Why or why not?

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

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

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

What does it mean if I had a dream about my mom who passed 12 years ago waking up from her coma and asking for my dad? I have never had a dreams about her since she has been gone.

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

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

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 am I always so tired, no matter how much I sleep?

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.
