What are the signs of mild autism in a child?

I used to bite my fingers and hands to self regulate. I sucked my thumb sometimes too.

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.

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

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

I copied people from TV shows or films, their way of walk, talk and personality.

My reaction with other children apart from my close family approached me was mostly walking away or hitting them.

I also didn't group play, I was physically close to those children but I was parallel playing most of the time.

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 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 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 had trouble answering questions about topics that didn't interest me or I just didn't answer.

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 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 wasn't unable to get non verbal communication and non literal communication too.
