SIGNS I HAD AS A BABY (0–2 YEARS)
It was very difficult for me to get social cues so I had inappropriate responses many times.
I didn't pretend play like the other children. I didn't know how to do that specially with other children.
I used to bite my fingers and hands to self regulate. I sucked my thumb sometimes too.
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.
My reaction with other children apart from my close family approached me was mostly walking away or hitting them.
Why are white women not interested in dating Asian men? Are they not attractive to you at all?
I made too much eye contact, I just stared at people's eyes for very prolonged times often causing discomfort.
I used to hit my siblings very often, that was my way of playing with them.
I learned many skills like reading and writing earlier than other children.

I wasn't unable to get non verbal communication and non literal communication too.
I also didn't group play, I was physically close to those children but I was parallel playing most of the time.
I was over or under sensitive to most sensory input causing sensory seeking oravoiding reactions.

I will answer this question showing my signs of autism I had as a child:
I interacted with older or younger children and if I didn't have that chance I talked to some teachers.
I always had a justice sense, if there was no equality or justice I would get very upset about that.

I loved to run from one side to another side and jump a lot, I always did it everyday.
I woke up and threw all my toys away from my crib and start crying.
I had trouble answering questions about topics that didn't interest me or I just didn't answer.

I had problems to follow instructions and to follow rules, I always got in trouble for this one.
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 didn't know why people felt happy or sad in determined situations.
I loved to stay alone in my room drawing or playing with my legos, I could do that for hours.
I was under sensitive to bowel and bladder feelings but other Interoceptive feelings felt just too much.
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.
