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 didn't have a social smile and I sometimes had exagerated facial expresions or just expressionless.
I had problems to follow instructions and to follow rules, I always got in trouble for this one.

I had limited interest in another children, I normally played just with my brother but no other children. I occasionally played with my cousins.
