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 was a calm baby, I didn't cry that much and I didn't need another person's entertainment.

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

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

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 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.

Anything could make me laugh to the point of annoying other people.

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