I copied people from TV shows or films, their way of walk, talk and personality.
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.
