SIGNS I HAD AS A CHILD (3–12 YEARS)

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 was under sensitive to bowel and bladder feelings but other Interoceptive feelings felt just too much.

I woke up and threw all my toys away from my crib and start crying.

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

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

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

I used to hit my siblings very often, that was my way of playing with them.

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 know why people felt happy or sad in determined situations.

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