What are the signs of mild autism in 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 learned many skills like reading and writing earlier than other children.

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

Why do I feel so down and not happy anymore? I also feel really tired and non-motivated. Is that normal for someone to feel that way?

SIGNS I HAD AS A CHILD (3–12 YEARS)

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

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

I am still studying engineering. I feel worried being an average student. Can I get a good job in placement, buy a house, and a car? I don't know why I feel this.

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

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

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

What is the best comeback you used on someone?

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

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

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

What’s the saddest thing you’ve seen at your job?

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

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

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

Why are so many US conservatives in this day and age still against racial mixing? They won't say it in public, but they are still against the mixing between Blacks and whites? Why?

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

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

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

How do you know if your husband loves you truly and deeply?

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 have a social smile and I sometimes had exagerated facial expresions or just expressionless.

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

Are you afraid to get married and why?

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.

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

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

Why do people say African Americans act the way they do because they're poor, when the ones with money act the same?

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

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.

Can I use ChatGPT to get chapter ideas? I’ll be writing it with my own words but I just get writer’s block when it comes to what to write?

SIGNS I HAD AS A BABY (0–2 YEARS)

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

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

Did Muhammad Ali ask Dundee to cut his gloves off before Eddie Futch stopped the fight in Thrilla in Manila?

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

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