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.
I made too much eye contact, I just stared at people's eyes for very prolonged times often causing discomfort.
I will answer this question showing my signs of autism I had as a child:
SIGNS I HAD AS A CHILD (3–12 YEARS)
I was very obsessed with angry birds, I played angry birds, I had ab toys, I watched ab in TV and I was so obsessed with that.
SIGNS I HAD AS A BABY (0–2 YEARS)

I had problems to follow instructions and to follow rules, I always got in trouble for this one.
I also didn't group play, I was physically close to those children but I was parallel playing most of the time.
I had trouble answering questions about topics that didn't interest me or I just didn't answer.
I woke up and threw all my toys away from my crib and start crying.
I used to bite my fingers and hands to self regulate. I sucked my thumb sometimes too.

I loved to run from one side to another side and jump a lot, I always did it everyday.
I had trouble to be fed. I ate slower and it was difficult for me to stop drinking from the bottle or breast. I also had trouble eating solid food.
I wasn't unable to get non verbal communication and non literal communication too.
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 didn't have a social smile and I sometimes had exagerated facial expresions or just expressionless.
My reaction with other children apart from my close family approached me was mostly walking away or hitting them.
