What are the signs of mild autism in a child?

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

Is there a correlation between being a medium and mental health?

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

SIGNS I HAD AS A BABY (0–2 YEARS)

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

What, when building a house, are the necessary wires (beside 120v) to future proof my house, Cat6, Coax, low voltage, and alarm wires?

I was over or under sensitive to most sensory input causing sensory seeking oravoiding reactions.

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

How do the police verify the authenticity of an online profile? What methods do they use to determine if a profile is real or fake?

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

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

Why do all the stupid people think Donald J. Trump is stupid?

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

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

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

How do you emotionally react to when others seem to feel sorry for you?

I had trouble answering questions about topics that didn't interest me or I just didn't answer.

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

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

When did bestiality first occur to you and how did it happen the first time? Was it a deliberate decision or it just happened and you allowed it?

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

I wasn't unable to get non verbal communication and non literal communication too.

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

Can they start feeding only one meal to prisoners on death row or those doing a life sentence? Because only then will it be real punishment. If they want extra food they can work or pay from their own pocket.

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

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

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.

Is the saying "nice guys finish last" true? Can good intentions always lead to positive outcomes?

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

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.

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

Why do I randomly start sweating a lot in public (while waiting in line, in a new class, etc.) then start sweating more because I’m embarrassed that I’m sweating so much? Is this social anxiety?

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

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

SIGNS I HAD AS A CHILD (3–12 YEARS)

Why are US customs agents so talkative? I cringed hard when a US customs agent asked me if I was on vacation. He doesn’t need to know why I went to another country as long as I am a U.S. citizen.

I made too much eye contact, I just stared at people's eyes for very prolonged times often causing discomfort.

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.

Does being poor build better character than being born rich?
