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

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

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

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

I didn't have a social smile and I sometimes had exagerated facial expresions or just expressionless.
