Anybody else with autism habits?

If I didn't have symptoms in childhood then I wouldn't be autistic.

THey weren't big symptoms but they were there, echolalia was pretty bad and it drove my parents nuts, very blank expression on the face, no response when my name was called, no eye contact, overall played alone most of the time. extremely socially inappropriate, very sensitive to sound, used to stim by throwing myself on the floor, banging my head against a wall, and screaming at random, obsessions with topics, poor balance and coordination, very very poor fine motor skills (difficulty holding a pencil and scissors and still do) I would shut down in crowds and over stimulating environments all the time and I still do today.

It was pretty text book except for the fact that I enjoyed being held as a child, played hide and seek and pretend play well. Played with my sister sometimes, I even desired to have friends but i would just cry about being lonely. I tried to play with others a lot I was just socially innapropriate. I spoke at a normal age and smiled a lot when I was a baby but when I turned 2 my face became expressionless. And even though I would go through sensory overloads and shut down I still wanted to go to crowded and over stimulating places, like the mall, amusement parks and so on.

My symptoms became really obvious when I was 12, that's when my mom became really concerned.

I've been told that I was "More Obsessed" (- My Dad) with nemo when I was 2 ½ to about 5 I personally disagree with this, cause About every program I used I mod it. I make it all Piplup like. I modify the strings, and etc. I didn't do that though again all I didn't have a computer or something to atleast attempt at something like that. I also liked to point out that today I was at a Restraunt and saw this kid who used to play on a baseball team I was a part of like 5 years or so ago and still remembered him and started freaking out that he would see me (I don't like to be seen by people who know me) and guess what? He immeditly came and stared at me.
