What are the signs of mild autism in a child?

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

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

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

How did you as a human being change while growing up?

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

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

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

Why is it so hard to date nowadays?

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

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

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

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.

How do I deal with autistic burnout/meltdown/shutdown when cooking?

SIGNS I HAD AS A BABY (0–2 YEARS)

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

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

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

SIGNS I HAD AS A CHILD (3–12 YEARS)

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

Is anyone else losing complete respect for the US at this point?

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

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

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

I just cannot wake up early, even if I sleep on time. What should I do?

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.

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

What is the sum of X+XX+XXX+XXXX?

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.

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

My grandmother deeded me her house before she passed last year. Her son still lives there refusing to move. What steps should I take to have him removed?

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

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

Is it better for 2nd generation Western Muslims to marry someone from their parents' country or a western Muslim who was born and raised in the West?

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

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

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