I'm not sure I can be any help as I have a DS7 who IS diagnosed with ASD, but I don't agree with the diagnosis. So nothing clear cut is going to come from me! But I can share our experience.
He always was able to easily remember numbers and seems to place more importance on them than pretty much anyone else would. We can watch a movie together and later he will say something like "I like that movie, there are 6 scenes with a cat in them." He will also say things like "I want to watch movie x because it's only 108 minutes long and we have an appointment in two hours."
This section sounds a lot like my child. What are the best things that you have found to help support his development?
