What are the signs of mild autism in a child?
Last Updated: 22.06.2025 01:22
I watched some films over and over again specially my favourite scenes.
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.

Anything could make me laugh to the point of annoying other people.
My reaction with other children apart from my close family approached me was mostly walking away or hitting them.
I will answer this question showing my signs of autism I had as a child:

I learned many skills like reading and writing earlier than other children.
I used to bite my fingers and hands to self regulate. I sucked my thumb sometimes too.
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 also didn't group play, I was physically close to those children but I was parallel playing most of the time.
I interacted with older or younger children and if I didn't have that chance I talked to some teachers.

It was very difficult for me to get social cues so I had inappropriate responses many times.
I copied people from TV shows or films, their way of walk, talk and personality.
I didn't have a social smile and I sometimes had exagerated facial expresions or just expressionless.
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.
