What are the signs of mild autism in a child?

SIGNS I HAD AS A BABY (0–2 YEARS)

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

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.

My stepdaughter’s mom tells her I’m not a real dance teacher, but my stepdaughter has seen me in action. Why does she still question my abilities?

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

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

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

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

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

SIGNS I HAD AS A CHILD (3–12 YEARS)

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

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

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