Wondering if my daughter may have Autism

Age 21m.
My daughter doesn't seem to say much, well she says a lot and is always talking just seems a bit slow at learning actual words. She likes to say bye bye and waves bye when people leave or in response to someone saying bye even to characters on TV.. She can say mummy and dadda, No and she can correctly count to 2 but after that the rest is made up aside from some random sixes and nines.
She likes to count everything all the time.
She lines up her my little pony horses all the time.
She likes to play with things that are the same as each other.
She gathers things like balls at playgroup and collects them all together then collects them all in another location.
She doesn't really play much any other way although she does copy me and walks around in my shoes or tries to sweep up or brush her hair and she does like to play on her car thing that she sits on.
She doesn't really play with her other toys except to get everything out the toybox.
She climbs up everything.
She will only eat spaghetti, noodles or chips mostly. It seems to be the shape of it that interests her. She does eat biscuits though.
She used to try more things but has become more fussy.
She loves water and having a bath and unless I put the dogs water bowl out of sight she splashes in that.
She does look you in the eye and plays a copying game with me where I copy what she does or she copies me.
I think it's mainly the obsessive counting everything all the time and only lining up her toys that freaks me out a bit.
She sleeps very well always has done from an early age all through the night every night and 1 nap a day usually at about 1pm.
She likes to wear clothes very much and does cuddle. She loves to go to the playground or just being out in general.
She also likes to go "la la la la"
And when she does her made up counting it mainly usually goes "one two dit nine six buy!"
Am I worrying too much?

There is a huge range of spectrum with autism and it can be quite hard to diagnose girls apparently, have you spoke to the health visitor or gp ? You
May just be worrying but if she has I would seek a diagnoses asa so that you can put things in place for her and for yourself.
