I loved to stay alone in my room drawing or playing with my legos, I could do that for hours.
I used to hit my siblings very often, that was my way of playing with them.
My reaction with other children apart from my close family approached me was mostly walking away or hitting them.
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 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 answering questions about topics that didn't interest me or I just didn't answer.

I was a calm baby, I didn't cry that much and I didn't need another person's entertainment.
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 didn't pretend play like the other children. I didn't know how to do that specially with other children.
I used to bite my fingers and hands to self regulate. I sucked my thumb sometimes too.
I always had a justice sense, if there was no equality or justice I would get very upset about that.
