What are the signs of mild autism in a child?

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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