What are the signs of mild autism in a child?

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

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

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

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

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

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

What advice would you give to a father of a teenage daughter on how to protect her from boys, dating, and social media? How should fathers discuss these topics with their daughters?

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

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

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

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

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

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

Why do I sweat so much at the gym?

SIGNS I HAD AS A BABY (0–2 YEARS)

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

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

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

Why is it so hard to date nowadays?

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

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

SIGNS I HAD AS A CHILD (3–12 YEARS)

Is it okay if I am not interested to talk to any of my relatives as I saw the real faces in my brother's marriage as none of them helped us rather were a kind of disappointment and were talking bad?

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 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.

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

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

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

Have you ever met someone and something seemed so unusual about them but you couldn't put your finger on what it was?

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

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

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

Why does everyone hate Anthony Joshua so much? I get that he isn’t the best heavyweight boxer ever but people claim he’s a no skill fighter but he has an Olympic gold medal, a world championship, and beat Klitschko, a dominant force in boxing

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

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.
