What are the signs of mild autism in a child?

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.

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

Im a 14 year old girl who doesnt want to wear a hijab but my parents force me to wear one. It makes me dislike it more. Im not ready for one no matter what people say and they get really mad at me. I have bad grades and no motivation. What do I do?

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

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

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

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

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

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

Why am I so tired of seeing homeless people all over the place?

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

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

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

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.

What is something you want to "get off your chest"?

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

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

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

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

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