What are the signs of mild autism in a child?

Anything could make me laugh to the point of annoying other people.

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 used to bite my fingers and hands to self regulate. I sucked my thumb sometimes too.

My reaction with other children apart from my close family approached me was mostly walking away or hitting them.
