I wasn't unable to get non verbal communication and non literal communication too.
Anything could make me laugh to the point of annoying other people.
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.

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