What are the signs of mild autism in a child?

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

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

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

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

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

SIGNS I HAD AS A CHILD (3–12 YEARS)

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

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

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

Do you have any attributes quirks sensitivities abilities etc that you've come to learn most people don't experience? E.g. dream with subtext or experience de ja vu regularly or know you experience life very differently from those around you etc?

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

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

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

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

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.
