What are the signs of mild autism in a child?

I had trouble answering questions about topics that didn't interest me or I just didn't answer.

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.
