I have recently discovered my child school has told an outside agency that my child is autistic. The child is 13 and I have never heard this mentioned by the school in the 9 years they have been at the school. I questioned the school they deny stating autism and say they only said autistic traits. I have asked why and who there is qualified and assessed my child to make such a statement and share it. I have been given no satisfactory answer. Today my child came home n told me they were questioned at school about wether they suffer from mental health issues wether they visit a doctor and dentist. I am very concerned and upset. Do they have the right to question my child in this way without my consent or knowledge and are they allowed to label my child as autistic without assessing them or discussion with myself as well as share that information. Please any opinions useful resources
