What are the signs of mild autism in a child?

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

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

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

If everyone hates censorship so much, why do those “censorship-free” alternative social media sites always fail?

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

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

Can you share any "backstage pass" experiences you have had at concerts?

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

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

Why isn't bestiality illegal in most states? If children can't consent, then animals DEFINITELY can't consent. Why is being a pedophile a crime but zoophilia is not?

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

SIGNS I HAD AS A BABY (0–2 YEARS)

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

Which Bibles can one read and be confident they are reading the inerrant word of God?

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

What are you struggling with in your life? What would you like to have instead?

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

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

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

What is the scariest thing that ever happened in your life?

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

SIGNS I HAD AS A CHILD (3–12 YEARS)

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

What happens if someone fills up their car at the pump but leaves without paying? How is this situation typically handled?

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.

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

Why do people have trouble accepting the very true fact that "The Blue Marble" photo of Earth is a composite and therefore (just like every other subsequent "picture" of Earth NASA has ever shown us) not a real photo but computer generated?

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

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.

In what ways Indian parents are destroying their children's life?

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

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

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

Why do I sweat between my legs all the time, top off my legs, all way down?

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

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

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

What's an underrated/unknown novel or series that you think deserves more attention?
