What are the signs of mild autism in a child?

I had problems to follow instructions and to follow rules, I always got in trouble for this one.

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