What are the signs of mild autism in a child?
Last Updated: 02.07.2025 05:25

I interacted with older or younger children and if I didn't have that chance I talked to some teachers.
I was a calm baby, I didn't cry that much and I didn't need another person's entertainment.

I loved to run from one side to another side and jump a lot, I always did it everyday.
I also didn't group play, I was physically close to those children but I was parallel playing most of the time.
I woke up and threw all my toys away from my crib and start crying.
I was under sensitive to bowel and bladder feelings but other Interoceptive feelings felt just too much.
I had problems to follow instructions and to follow rules, I always got in trouble for this one.
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.
I will answer this question showing my signs of autism I had as a child:
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.

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 used to bite my fingers and hands to self regulate. I sucked my thumb sometimes too.
I learned many skills like reading and writing earlier than other children.
