What are the signs of mild autism in a child?

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

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.

SIGNS I HAD AS A BABY (0–2 YEARS)

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

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

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.

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

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