Last Updated: 30.06.2025 00:27
I was over or under sensitive to most sensory input causing sensory seeking oravoiding reactions.
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.
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 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 loved to run from one side to another side and jump a lot, I always did it everyday.
I loved to stay alone in my room drawing or playing with my legos, I could do that for hours.
I was a calm baby, I didn't cry that much and I didn't need another person's entertainment.
My reaction with other children apart from my close family approached me was mostly walking away or hitting them.
