One of my sons is ASD and the behaviour you describe is quite similar to his. However, three is still very little and I wouldn't rush into any diagnosis yet (and nor should any health professionals).
I can't add much to the great advice above but I would emphasise two of Armorel's points. Firstly, the best experts on your child are you and your partner - if you feel that someone is telling you the wrong info, or making the wrong judgements, stick to your guns. And secondly, although it's part of the first point too, get that 'bloody minded hat' and staple it to your head. I have had to fight every step of the way to get my boy the care and help that he needs and deserves. It's all out there but sometimes others aren't very helpful in showing you where!
I hope things go well for you. ASD can be hard to manage but it can also be very rewarding when your child makes progress.
