What are the signs of mild autism in a child?

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

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

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

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

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.

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

Are you more of a butt guy or a boob guy?

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

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.

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