What are the signs of mild autism in a child?

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

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

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

Why does my 5-year-old daughter keep repeating the words 'they will come for us, they will find us and touch us'? I'm quite scared.

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

SIGNS I HAD AS A BABY (0–2 YEARS)

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

Why is my crush beautiful to me but not to others?

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

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.

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 is the reason for The Acolyte (2024 series) having poor reception among Star Wars fans?

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 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.

Is it necessary for people to wear towels while showering at gyms? If so, what are some ways to prevent the towel from slipping off and exposing oneself?

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

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.

How can someone in your family purposely try to destroy your reputation?

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

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

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.

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

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

What is your worst experience in life?

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

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

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