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

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

I woke up and threw all my toys away from my crib and start crying.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.
