I haven't seen a DC that WASN'T fascinated by ceiling fans.....
One "symptom" doesn't equate to autism. Most of these signs are possible indicators to look deeper, and you need more than one sign to start worrying. At some point, most DC do some of the indicators. It's more of where it gets to be obsessive, or a preoccupation. DS likes to play alone at times, but he also loves playing with other people. He lines up toys once in a while, but not that often, and it's usually so he can smash them up easier....

 Lukies favorite thing is a light switch. cause and effect. Thankfully the rest of those things don't apply.
