I had limited interest in another children, I normally played just with my brother but no other children. I occasionally played with my cousins.
I didn't have a social smile and I sometimes had exagerated facial expresions or just expressionless.
I used to bite my fingers and hands to self regulate. I sucked my thumb sometimes too.
I will answer this question showing my signs of autism I had as a child:

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.
