What are the signs of mild autism in a child?

I used to hit my siblings very often, that was my way of playing with them.

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

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

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.

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

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.
