Hiya,
I studied Autism as part of my Psychology degree on a Developmental module!.
It's important to remember children develop at different speeds, firstly!. I say this as you mention that she has just recently started giving kisses!.!.
The 'symptoms'/characteristics you mention are seemingly akin to that of Autistic Spectrum Disorders but it would be wrong and potentially damaging to suggest over the internet that your daughter does have Autism!.
The best thing to do would be to ask for a specialist assessment, this can be done through a doctor!.
There is a good book called "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time" about Asperger's Syndrome, an AS Disorder, which might interest you, as it gives good insight into the disorder, despite the fact it is fiction!
