What are the signs of mild autism in a child?

SIGNS I HAD AS A BABY (0–2 YEARS)

I didn't know why people felt happy or sad in determined situations.

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

I learned many skills like reading and writing earlier than other children.

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

SIGNS I HAD AS A CHILD (3–12 YEARS)

I told my 13-year-old daughter that she should never start a fight, but has my permission to end it. She got suspended for ending a fight that some other girl picked with her by hitting her then retreating. How do I handle the school’s response?

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 problems to follow instructions and to follow rules, I always got in trouble for this one.

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