What are the signs of mild autism in a child?

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.
