My reaction with other children apart from my close family approached me was mostly walking away or hitting them.

I didn't know why people felt happy or sad in determined situations.

I learned many skills like reading and writing earlier than other children.

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.

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 will answer this question showing my signs of autism I had as a child:

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

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

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

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