Signs of autism in your childhood

Before I sign off to do something sensible, I've been thinking about this a lot recently.

It's particularly pertinent for us late diagnosed.

There are a lot of things I remember, so here are just some.

Stuttering?

Pica.

'Habits' including nail, cuticle and lip eating (which I still do).

Very limited foods eaten.

Very sensitive to smells, tastes, textures and sounds (I was putting cotton wool in my ears as a child).

Collecting where I could (we were poor) - the collection I remember loving was little cars.

How about you?
