I had trouble answering questions about topics that didn't interest me or I just didn't answer.
I also didn't group play, I was physically close to those children but I was parallel playing most of the time.
I made too much eye contact, I just stared at people's eyes for very prolonged times often causing discomfort.

I had problems to follow instructions and to follow rules, I always got in trouble for this one.
I used to bite my fingers and hands to self regulate. I sucked my thumb sometimes too.

I will answer this question showing my signs of autism I had as a child:

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

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 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.
