What are the signs of mild autism in a child?

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

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

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

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 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.

What kind of person makes you think "how come there are people like that"?

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

Why is there so much hate against black people?

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

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

It was very difficult for me to get social cues so I had inappropriate responses many times.

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

Why do people keep saying they have evidence and have presented it that proves you're wrong even though they have none and haven't presented anything? Furthermore, what do they think you're wrong about?
