Time for a visit: The features you list are alarming.Speech should be 95% understood by strangers at 4yr. The "order" issue sounds a bit too obsessive. Lack of good eye contact with her primary care givers sets off alarms. I would arrange to have her screened by a pediatrician, developmental-behavioral pediatrician or child psychiatrist within the next few weeks to identify her best way to improve.
