What are the signs of mild autism in a child?

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

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

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

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

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

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