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 will answer this question showing my signs of autism I had as a child:
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 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 was over or under sensitive to most sensory input causing sensory seeking oravoiding reactions.
