Best to approach government clinics...they will refer you to hospital for assessment.
Be prepared though: those doctors may qualify your child as "within the autistic spectrum". My personal feeling: this is the safest conclusion from the doctor's perspective..but devestating to the parents. I have gone through all these.
Based on your description, if you ask me, my comment, unfortunately, is "yes and no".
"yes" because there are features that would put you into the spectrum.
"no" because anybody has favorites...some people are crazy with buses, some people are obsessed with other things. it is not fair to label them "strange" or call them autistic.
You recognise that your child may not be the same as the average child so you are rightly worried. But don't be too worried. Bring the child to the assessment, and see if anything can help her expand her areas of interest.
Have confidence in your child and make up your mind independently.
