SIGNS I HAD AS A BABY (0–2 YEARS)
I didn't have a social smile and I sometimes had exagerated facial expresions or just expressionless.
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.

It was very difficult for me to get social cues so I had inappropriate responses many times.
I copied people from TV shows or films, their way of walk, talk and personality.
My reaction with other children apart from my close family approached me was mostly walking away or hitting them.
I used to hit my siblings very often, that was my way of playing with 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.
I made too much eye contact, I just stared at people's eyes for very prolonged times often causing discomfort.
Anything could make me laugh to the point of annoying other people.
I used to bite my fingers and hands to self regulate. I sucked my thumb sometimes too.
I wasn't unable to get non verbal communication and non literal communication too.

I was over or under sensitive to most sensory input causing sensory seeking oravoiding reactions.
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 had limited interest in another children, I normally played just with my brother but no other children. I occasionally played with my cousins.

I didn't pretend play like the other children. I didn't know how to do that specially with other children.
I also didn't group play, I was physically close to those children but I was parallel playing most of the time.
I always had a justice sense, if there was no equality or justice I would get very upset about that.
