I will answer this question showing my signs of autism I had as a child:
I made too much eye contact, I just stared at people's eyes for very prolonged times often causing discomfort.
I didn't have a social smile and I sometimes had exagerated facial expresions or just expressionless.

I loved to stay alone in my room drawing or playing with my legos, I could do that for hours.
I had trouble sharing objects and food, normally someone had to tell me to give them something. I sometimes didn't want people to have my objects to the point of meltdowns.
I had trouble answering questions about topics that didn't interest me or I just didn't answer.
