What are the signs of mild autism in 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.

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

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

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

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

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

Have you ever been forced to dress like a girl?

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

SIGNS I HAD AS A CHILD (3–12 YEARS)

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

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

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

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

Why all the fuss about Trump’s policy initiatives? Isn’t he just trying to set a moral tone for the Republican Party to make America great again?

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

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.

What misfortune led to an important discovery?

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

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

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

It’s been over a month since I stopped taking sertraline but why do I still feel side effects like brain zaps and anxiety mood changes? The root cause of anxiety it’s your thinking and I perfectly master that better than before so it’s hard lately.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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