What are the signs of mild autism in a child?

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

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

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

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

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 was over or under sensitive to most sensory input causing sensory seeking oravoiding reactions.

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.
