What are the signs of mild autism in a child?

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 was under sensitive to bowel and bladder feelings but other Interoceptive feelings felt just too much.

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

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

I had a fantasy world, I was always there and that was the best place to be, when I was anxious I went there and zone out.

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

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

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

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

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