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 was over or under sensitive to most sensory input causing sensory seeking oravoiding reactions.
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.
I loved to stay alone in my room drawing or playing with my legos, I could do that for hours.
I wasn't unable to get non verbal communication and non literal communication too.
I woke up and threw all my toys away from my crib and start crying.
I used to bite my fingers and hands to self regulate. I sucked my thumb sometimes too.
I interacted with older or younger children and if I didn't have that chance I talked to some teachers.
I used to hit my siblings very often, that was my way of playing with them.
