Last Updated: 26.06.2025 03:25

I interacted with older or younger children and if I didn't have that chance I talked to some teachers.
I wasn't unable to get non verbal communication and non literal communication too.
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 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 problems to follow instructions and to follow rules, I always got in trouble for this one.
I learned many skills like reading and writing earlier than other children.

SIGNS I HAD AS A BABY (0–2 YEARS)
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.

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

I didn't have a social smile and I sometimes had exagerated facial expresions or just expressionless.
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.
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 also didn't group play, I was physically close to those children but I was parallel playing most of the time.
I will answer this question showing my signs of autism I had as a child:
My reaction with other children apart from my close family approached me was mostly walking away or hitting them.

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

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

I used to hit my siblings very often, that was my way of playing with them.
It was very difficult for me to get social cues so I had inappropriate responses many times.
