What are the signs of mild autism in a child?
Last Updated: 02.07.2025 05:17
I learned many skills like reading and writing earlier than other children.
I didn't pretend play like the other children. I didn't know how to do that specially with other children.
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.
Anything could make me laugh to the point of annoying other people.
I was a calm baby, I didn't cry that much and I didn't need another person's entertainment.
Why do some people enjoy being dominated?
I was under sensitive to bowel and bladder feelings but other Interoceptive feelings felt just too much.
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 problems to follow instructions and to follow rules, I always got in trouble for this one.
I had trouble answering questions about topics that didn't interest me or I just didn't answer.
I wasn't unable to get non verbal communication and non literal communication too.
I woke up and threw all my toys away from my crib and start crying.
Why are Indians so influenced by the Western culture, when the Indian tradition has so much to give?
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 loved to stay alone in my room drawing or playing with my legos, I could do that for hours.
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.
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 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.
