I have three cafe au lait spots ranging from 1-3cm.they are very hard to see. i just found one today. no other nf1 symptoms. could this still be nf1?

Unlikely: Unlikely because of not enough spots.There are different definition, but 6 or more sports greater than 1/4 inch size is a standard.So not probable.
