What are the signs of mild autism in a child?

I interacted with older or younger children and if I didn't have that chance I talked to some teachers.

I loved to run from one side to another side and jump a lot, I always did it everyday.

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.

My wife has a bunch of really attractive friends, and she expects me to never say anything to her about how beautiful they are. Does this seem fair? I love my wife, and just commenting shouldn’t hurt anything, right?

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

I didn't pretend play like the other children. I didn't know how to do that specially with other children.

Is the saying "nice guys finish last" true? Can good intentions always lead to positive outcomes?

I used to hit my siblings very often, that was my way of playing with them.

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

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 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 always had a justice sense, if there was no equality or justice I would get very upset about that.

I woke up and threw all my toys away from my crib and start crying.

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.

I didn't know why people felt happy or sad in determined situations.

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 loved to stay alone in my room drawing or playing with my legos, I could do that for hours.

I was over or under sensitive to most sensory input causing sensory seeking oravoiding reactions.

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.
