What are the signs of mild autism in a child?

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

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

SIGNS I HAD AS A BABY (0–2 YEARS)

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

What was your biggest culture shock going to Europe?

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

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

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

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.

How do you know when someone really loves you?

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

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

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

What is it like to use a Fleshlight?

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

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

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.

Do people of NYC drive around Central Park all the time? Is there any subway tunnel to cross the park quickly? Is it annoying for people and does it cause traffic?

SIGNS I HAD AS A CHILD (3–12 YEARS)

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.

The world of the Harry Potter series is usually considered bad worldbuilding. What are some examples of actually good worldbuilding in the books/movies?

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

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.

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

How do you get a girl to like you?

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

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

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

What is some information about unprotected sex and pregnancy?

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

Have you ever had a weird experience immediately following the death of a loved one that made you think there is an afterlife and that the deceased person was communicating with you?

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

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

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.
