What are the signs of mild autism in a child?

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

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

Why aren't U.S. prisons more like Marine Corps boot camp, were every second of the day there are mandatory activities so that at night everyone is so tired they go to sleep until wakeup at 5:30 am? Would this make prisons safer for all?

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

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

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

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

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

I didn't know why people felt happy or sad in determined situations.

Anything could make me laugh to the point of annoying other people.

It was very difficult for me to get social cues so I had inappropriate responses many times.

I had trouble sharing objects and food, normally someone had to tell me to give them something. I sometimes didn't want people to have my objects to the point of meltdowns.

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

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

I had trouble answering questions about topics that didn't interest me or I just didn't answer.

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

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

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