What are the signs of mild autism in a child?

It was very difficult for me to get social cues so I had inappropriate responses many times.

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