I was a calm baby, I didn't cry that much and I didn't need another person's entertainment.
My reaction with other children apart from my close family approached me was mostly walking away or hitting them.
I used to bite my fingers and hands to self regulate. I sucked my thumb sometimes too.
I was under sensitive to bowel and bladder feelings but other Interoceptive feelings felt just too much.

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 had problems to follow instructions and to follow rules, I always got in trouble for this one.
I loved to run from one side to another side and jump a lot, I always did it everyday.
