What are the signs of mild autism in a child?

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

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

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.

If my heart stopped beating, would I have enough energy to walk out into the other room 20 ft away before I passed out and died?

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

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

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

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.
