What are the signs of mild autism in a child?

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

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 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.

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.

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