SIGNS I HAD AS A BABY (0–2 YEARS)
I was a calm baby, I didn't cry that much and I didn't need another person's entertainment.
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 also didn't group play, I was physically close to those children but I was parallel playing most of the time.
I loved to run from one side to another side and jump a lot, I always did it everyday.
Anything could make me laugh to the point of annoying other people.

It was very difficult for me to get social cues so I had inappropriate responses many times.
I was over or under sensitive to most sensory input causing sensory seeking oravoiding reactions.
My reaction with other children apart from my close family approached me was mostly walking away or hitting them.
What thing happened to you as a child that you haven’t let go of to this day?
I watched some films over and over again specially my favourite scenes.
I used to hit my siblings very often, that was my way of playing with them.
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 wasn't unable to get non verbal communication and non literal communication too.
I was under sensitive to bowel and bladder feelings but other Interoceptive feelings felt just too much.
I didn't have a social smile and I sometimes had exagerated facial expresions or just expressionless.
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 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 learned many skills like reading and writing earlier than other children.
