What are the signs of mild autism in a child?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.
