What are the signs of mild autism in a child?

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

I made too much eye contact, I just stared at people's eyes for very prolonged times often causing discomfort.

I loved to run from one side to another side and jump a lot, I always did it everyday.

It was very difficult for me to get social cues so I had inappropriate responses many times.

I had problems to follow instructions and to follow rules, I always got in trouble for this one.

I learned many skills like reading and writing earlier than other children.

Why am I totally different than others? Why do I have a problem with my basic knowledge about society and reality? Why am I dumb and stupid?

I copied people from TV shows or films, their way of walk, talk and personality.

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

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.

If gays can get married, why can't I marry my dog or a cheeseburger?

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

I used to bite my fingers and hands to self regulate. I sucked my thumb sometimes too.

I was under sensitive to bowel and bladder feelings but other Interoceptive feelings felt just too much.

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 was very obsessed with angry birds, I played angry birds, I had ab toys, I watched ab in TV and I was so obsessed with that.

Why cant I sleep on my side after getting my covid vaccine? I just got the shot and I’ve been overstimulated from not being able to sleep, my arm is very sore and it hurts so much to move and I just want to sleep but it hurts if I lay on either side

I loved to stay alone in my room drawing or playing with my legos, I could do that for hours.

SIGNS I HAD AS A BABY (0–2 YEARS)

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.

What are the best examples of reverse psychology?

I didn't have a social smile and I sometimes had exagerated facial expresions or just expressionless.

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

I was over or under sensitive to most sensory input causing sensory seeking oravoiding reactions.

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

I had trouble answering questions about topics that didn't interest me or I just didn't answer.

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.

Ive been pretending to be okay and acting as normal as possible, but Im actually completely heartbroken after a recent breakup. Its painful and really affecting me, to the point where I cant concentrate at work, Ive lost my appetite, I cant sleep, and It feels as if my whole world has been turned upside down. I loved him so much. He said so many cruel things to me and it made me realize he must not have loved me the way I loved him, or he wouldnt have said such horrible things. How do I handle the heartbreak and why cant I accept that he didnt love me and just forget about him?

I wasn't unable to get non verbal communication and non literal communication too.

I watched some films over and over again specially my favourite scenes.

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.
