I went through this with my mum (because she can remember when I was a small child) but the answer came up with:-
No PDD 36
This is actually rather accurate because I didn't seem to have AS when I was under 4 years old, I was quite typical and there was no behavioural differences compared to other typically developing toddlers. It only all started at once when I started school.
I even remember little bits of my toddlerhood, like when I was at preschool, and I don't remember feeling bewildered or unsociable towards the other children, I remember joining in games and interacting at normal toddler level. I only remember feeling worried a few times when my mum left me there in the mornings, but that's normal for toddlers.
Some questions are not easy to answer because they are not a simple yes / no. I remember sometimes participating in group games but I also remember that I liked to play by myself or with only one other child. There were some children in preschool and nursery school I could not interact with, and with the others the topics often times were rather limited, even to that age.
