I was a calm baby, I didn't cry that much and I didn't need another person's entertainment.
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.
I made too much eye contact, I just stared at people's eyes for very prolonged times often causing discomfort.
I loved to run from one side to another side and jump a lot, I always did it everyday.
I copied people from TV shows or films, their way of walk, talk and personality.

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 have a social smile and I sometimes had exagerated facial expresions or just expressionless.
