What are the signs of mild autism in a child?

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

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

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

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

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

SIGNS I HAD AS A CHILD (3–12 YEARS)

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