What are the signs of mild autism in a child?

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

I wasn't unable to get non verbal communication and non literal communication too.

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 interacted with older or younger children and if I didn't have that chance I talked to some teachers.

I made too much eye contact, I just stared at people's eyes for very prolonged times often causing discomfort.

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.

Is something wrong with my discharge? So, when I masturbate, white discharge comes from my vagina, but it's not stretchy, it's pasty. It doesn't smell and I'm not itchy, so I'm sure it's not a yeast infection. Why is it pasty though?

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

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

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

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

I also didn't group play, I was physically close to those children but I was parallel playing most of the time.

I loved to run from one side to another side and jump a lot, I always did it everyday.

Why do some people refuse to explain their actions or behavior when asked? Why do they claim to not know the reason instead of providing an explanation?

I copied people from TV shows or films, their way of walk, talk and personality.

I loved to stay alone in my room drawing or playing with my legos, I could do that for hours.

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