What are the signs of mild autism in a child?
Last Updated: 21.06.2025 07:31

I was a calm baby, I didn't cry that much and I didn't need another person's entertainment.
I had problems to follow instructions and to follow rules, I always got in trouble for this one.
I had trouble answering questions about topics that didn't interest me or I just didn't answer.
Why do men choose to marry a plain Jane woman over a pretty woman?
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 watched some films over and over again specially my favourite scenes.
I copied people from TV shows or films, their way of walk, talk and personality.
What should I do to get over a relationship?
I always had a justice sense, if there was no equality or justice I would get very upset about that.
My reaction with other children apart from my close family approached me was mostly walking away or hitting them.
Anything could make me laugh to the point of annoying other people.
What 10 things have you stopped doing in your life?
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 didn't pretend play like the other children. I didn't know how to do that specially with other children.
I woke up and threw all my toys away from my crib and start crying.
Why do almost all the girls on Quora look beautiful?
I also didn't group play, I was physically close to those children but I was parallel playing most of the time.
I didn't know why people felt happy or sad in determined situations.
I wasn't unable to get non verbal communication and non literal communication too.
Even Captain James T. Kirk was trapped in a woman's body. Don't you think he'd support trans people?
I interacted with older or younger children and if I didn't have that chance I talked to some teachers.
I was under sensitive to bowel and bladder feelings but other Interoceptive feelings felt just too much.
I made too much eye contact, I just stared at people's eyes for very prolonged times often causing discomfort.
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 loved to run from one side to another side and jump a lot, I always did it everyday.
I was over or under sensitive to most sensory input causing sensory seeking oravoiding reactions.

I learned many skills like reading and writing earlier than other children.
Why do I sweat (mostly on face) when I eat usually spicy food?
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 didn't have a social smile and I sometimes had exagerated facial expresions or just expressionless.
