SIGNS I HAD AS A CHILD (3–12 YEARS)

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

I used to bite my fingers and hands to self regulate. I sucked my thumb sometimes too.

I woke up and threw all my toys away from my crib and start crying.

I made too much eye contact, I just stared at people's eyes for very prolonged times often causing discomfort.

I had trouble answering questions about topics that didn't interest me or I just didn't answer.

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

I loved to run from one side to another side and jump a lot, I always did it everyday.

I also didn't group play, I was physically close to those children but I was parallel playing most of the time.

I wasn't unable to get non verbal communication and non literal communication too.

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.

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

I interacted with older or younger children and if I didn't have that chance I talked to some teachers.

I didn't pretend play like the other children. I didn't know how to do that specially with other children.

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

I loved to stay alone in my room drawing or playing with my legos, I could do that for hours.

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.

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

I’m wondering about attachment and transference with the therapist and the idea of escape and fantasy? How much do you think your strong feelings, constant thoughts, desires to be with your therapist are a way to escape from your present life? I wonder if the transference serves another purpose than to show us our wounds and/or past experiences, but is a present coping strategy for managing what we don’t want to face (even if unconsciously) in the present—-current relationships, life circumstances, etc. Can anyone relate to this concept of escape in relation to their therapy relationship? How does this play out for you?

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.

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.
