I wasn't unable to get non verbal communication and non literal communication too.
I was a calm baby, I didn't cry that much and I didn't need another person's entertainment.
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 had problems to follow instructions and to follow rules, I always got in trouble for this one.
I was under sensitive to bowel and bladder feelings but other Interoceptive feelings felt just too much.
I copied people from TV shows or films, their way of walk, talk and personality.

I had trouble answering questions about topics that didn't interest me or I just didn't answer.
I also didn't group play, I was physically close to those children but I was parallel playing most of the time.
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 interacted with older or younger children and if I didn't have that chance I talked to some teachers.
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 pretend play like the other children. I didn't know how to do that specially with other children.
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 loved to stay alone in my room drawing or playing with my legos, I could do that for hours.
