I caught my husband of 20 years looking at inappropriate pics of women on TikTok or Instagram. I'm not sure., but when I told him he got mad and made excuses of why they popped up. I then told him how I've snuck on his phone and saw what he's been looking at . We had a horrible big fight. I asked him why did he even marry me when I see the type he likes . Nothing like me, I'm petite, blonde and blue eyes. These women are dark haired dark eyed and have curvy bodies, large breasts, etc. I just don't feel the same about him after this. I can't get over this

I used to bite my fingers and hands to self regulate. I sucked my thumb sometimes too.

My reaction with other children apart from my close family approached me was mostly walking away or hitting them.

I used to hit my siblings very often, that was my way of playing with them.

I loved to stay alone in my room drawing or playing with my legos, I could do that for hours.

It was very difficult for me to get social cues so I had inappropriate responses many times.

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

I was over or under sensitive to most sensory input causing sensory seeking oravoiding reactions.

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 had limited interest in another children, I normally played just with my brother but no other children. I occasionally played with my cousins.

Anything could make me laugh to the point of annoying other people.

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.

Would you join a gym or workout at home and why?

I woke up and threw all my toys away from my crib and start crying.

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 made too much eye contact, I just stared at people's eyes for very prolonged times often causing discomfort.

I was a calm baby, I didn't cry that much and I didn't need another person's entertainment.
