What are the signs of mild autism in a child?

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

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

Im a 14 year old girl who doesnt want to wear a hijab but my parents force me to wear one. It makes me dislike it more. Im not ready for one no matter what people say and they get really mad at me. I have bad grades and no motivation. What do I do?

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

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

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

I loved to stay alone in my room drawing or playing with my legos, I could do that for hours.

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

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

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

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

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.

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.
