What are the signs of mild autism in a child?

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

I was over or under sensitive to most sensory input causing sensory seeking oravoiding reactions.

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 had limited interest in another children, I normally played just with my brother but no other children. I occasionally played with my cousins.

I was a calm baby, I didn't cry that much and I didn't need another person's entertainment.

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

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.
