Hearing imaginary voices is not a typical symptom of ASD. You might want to talk to a psychologist and get an evaluation to see if this is something to worry about.
It sounds more like schizophrenia.
I'm not sure if it's a entirely bad thing. We been asked if our daughter can pretend play but she hasn't. I never had an imaginary friend because I came from a big family so there wasn't any room.
"Kutner (n.d.) reported that 65% of seven-year old children report they have had an imaginary companion at some point in their lives."

If she's seeing things that aren't there and can't tell between reality and fantasy that's not common for ASD.
I would take her to a neurologist immediately. She may be having absent seizures.
