I learned many skills like reading and writing earlier than other children.
I wasn't unable to get non verbal communication and non literal communication too.
I also didn't group play, I was physically close to those children but I was parallel playing most of the time.
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 know why people felt happy or sad in determined situations.

I was under sensitive to bowel and bladder feelings but other Interoceptive feelings felt just too much.
I was a calm baby, I didn't cry that much and I didn't need another person's entertainment.
I loved to stay alone in my room drawing or playing with my legos, I could do that for hours.
I watched some films over and over again specially my favourite scenes.
I didn't pretend play like the other children. I didn't know how to do that specially with other children.

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.
