What are the signs of mild autism in a child?

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

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.

Why do so many people seem to hate Nickelback? They're competent and entertaining, and while they certainly aren't the absolute best music, they're still a fun listen.

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

I had limited interest in another children, I normally played just with my brother but no other children. I occasionally played with my cousins.

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

What is one fantasy you have never told anyone about but really want to do?

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

I learned many skills like reading and writing earlier than 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 always had a justice sense, if there was no equality or justice I would get very upset about that.

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