What are the signs of mild autism in a child?

I loved to stay alone in my room drawing or playing with my legos, I could do that for hours.

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

I watched some films over and over again specially my favourite scenes.

I was a calm baby, I didn't cry that much and I didn't need another person's entertainment.

I loved to run from one side to another side and jump a lot, I always did it everyday.

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.
