Child Development Assessment?
Hi, my daughter who turned 3 in Dec has been having some communication problems including severe stuttering, sometimes refusing to speak at all, hates to make prolonged eye contact, and almost seems to have OCD (will line up crayons of the same color in perfect row, can't have any break in routine or a big fit ensues, will line up snacks in rows) She is very smart and her language is on par or maybe above for her age. I am wondering if anyone went through similiar issues and if there was any diagnosis involved? or is it something she will just grow out of?

Have you spoken to her pediatrician? I'd start there. Might be OCD, might be something else. Her doctor will be able to offer specific advice for her, recommend assessments, suggest a preschool...
Also, you'll want to have answers to questions like these: is this a recent development, or has it become more serious lately? Have there been changes in the household or traumas in her life that might be contributing? Is there a history of learning disabilities in the family?
At 3, she's in a good position for intervention if there is a problem. Stay on top of it, ask lots of questions, do some research into OCD and similar disorders, and be an advocate for your daughter. Most importantly, though, keep your head and your perspective.
Good luck--

If you are concerned she may have OCD then you should bring her to your GP. But it sounds like she will grow out of it.

Sounds like it could be Asperger's diorder. I would talk to your pediatrition and have her evalutated! Best wishes!
