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 was a calm baby, I didn't cry that much and I didn't need another person's entertainment.
I watched some films over and over again specially my favourite scenes.
I also didn't group play, I was physically close to those children but I was parallel playing most of the time.
I will answer this question showing my signs of autism I had as a child:
I always had a justice sense, if there was no equality or justice I would get very upset about that.
When do you feel most peaceful ever?
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.
