What are the signs of mild autism in a child?
Last Updated: 28.06.2025 05:37
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 interacted with older or younger children and if I didn't have that chance I talked to some teachers.
I loved to stay alone in my room drawing or playing with my legos, I could do that for hours.
I made too much eye contact, I just stared at people's eyes for very prolonged times often causing discomfort.
I woke up and threw all my toys away from my crib and start crying.
I didn't have a social smile and I sometimes had exagerated facial expresions or just expressionless.
I wasn't unable to get non verbal communication and non literal communication too.
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 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 watched some films over and over again specially my favourite scenes.
I didn't know why people felt happy or sad in determined situations.

I used to hit my siblings very often, that was my way of playing with them.
I had a fantasy world, I was always there and that was the best place to be, when I was anxious I went there and zone out.
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 learned many skills like reading and writing earlier than other children.
