What are the signs of mild autism in a child?

I had a fantasy world, I was always there and that was the best place to be, when I was anxious I went there and zone out.

I woke up and threw all my toys away from my crib and start crying.

I didn't know why people felt happy or sad in determined situations.

I used to bite my fingers and hands to self regulate. I sucked my thumb sometimes too.

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.

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.
