What are the signs of mild autism in a child?

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

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

I will answer this question showing my signs of autism I had as a child:

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 didn't have a social smile and I sometimes had exagerated facial expresions or just expressionless.

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 used to bite my fingers and hands to self regulate. I sucked my thumb sometimes too.

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