I used to bite my fingers and hands to self regulate. I sucked my thumb sometimes too.
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 loved to stay alone in my room drawing or playing with my legos, I could do that for hours.
