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

I was under sensitive to bowel and bladder feelings but other Interoceptive feelings felt just too much.

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

I didn't have a social smile and I sometimes had exagerated facial expresions or just expressionless.

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

Why are there no fossils for the 'missing link' that connects our ancestors with other species? Is this a misconception or is there another explanation?

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

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

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

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

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

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

I made too much eye contact, I just stared at people's eyes for very prolonged times often causing discomfort.

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 problems to follow instructions and to follow rules, I always got in trouble for this one.

I will answer this question showing my signs of autism I had as a child:

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

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