Last Updated: 24.06.2025 00:12
I had problems to follow instructions and to follow rules, I always got in trouble for this one.
I was under sensitive to bowel and bladder feelings but other Interoceptive feelings felt just too much.
My reaction with other children apart from my close family approached me was mostly walking away or hitting them.

I wasn't unable to get non verbal communication and non literal communication too.
I loved to stay alone in my room drawing or playing with my legos, I could do that for hours.
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 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.
It was very difficult for me to get social cues so I had inappropriate responses many times.
I also didn't group play, I was physically close to those children but I was parallel playing most of the time.

I copied people from TV shows or films, their way of walk, talk and personality.
I didn't have a social smile and I sometimes had exagerated facial expresions or just expressionless.

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 didn't know why people felt happy or sad in determined situations.
I woke up and threw all my toys away from my crib and start crying.
I interacted with older or younger children and if I didn't have that chance I talked to some teachers.
I used to bite my fingers and hands to self regulate. I sucked my thumb sometimes too.

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