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

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

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 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 loved to stay alone in my room drawing or playing with my legos, I could do that for hours.

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

I also didn't group play, I was physically close to those children but I was parallel playing most of the time.

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

I interacted with older or younger children and if I didn't have that chance I talked to some teachers.

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

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