What are the signs of mild autism in a child?

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

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.

What seemingly minor decision or moment in your past ended up having a massive impact on your entire life trajectory?

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

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

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

Why didn't people like the Game of Thrones ending?

I will answer this question showing my signs of autism I had as 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 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.

Why does Russia and many parts of Eastern Europe strangely have a high percentage of female doctors and physicians (~70%)?

SIGNS I HAD AS A BABY (0–2 YEARS)

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

SIGNS I HAD AS A CHILD (3–12 YEARS)

Could the guys here tell me how their first experience with a trans woman was? Who was the lady to you? ( I mean girlfriend, one night stand, etc.) I just had my first experience recently and I would like to know about others?

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

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

Why do I like to eat my own cum?

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

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

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

Do you have any attributes quirks sensitivities abilities etc that you've come to learn most people don't experience? E.g. dream with subtext or experience de ja vu regularly or know you experience life very differently from those around you etc?

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

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

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

How much should one budget to travel for 1 month generally?

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

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

Is there such a thing as "left wing fascism"? If not, what is an example of a political ideology that is often mistakenly labeled as "left wing fascism"?

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

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

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

How do you deal with neighbors who are always telling you what to do?

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.

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

What frustrates you the most?

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

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

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.
