What are the signs of mild autism in a child?
Last Updated: 23.06.2025 00:31
I had problems to follow instructions and to follow rules, I always got in trouble for this one.
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 interacted with older or younger children and if I didn't have that chance I talked to some teachers.

I will answer this question showing my signs of autism I had as a child:
I didn't have a social smile and I sometimes had exagerated facial expresions or just expressionless.

My reaction with other children apart from my close family approached me was mostly walking away or hitting them.
Anything could make me laugh to the point of annoying other people.
I wasn't unable to get non verbal communication and non literal communication too.
