Girls and asd, expert masking and vulnerability

I have four kids. 2 diagnosed with asd. My dd only this week. Delayed by almost half a year. The reason? School saw no issue. Problem is they really see nothing, they aren't lying, she shows nothing there. I now know why girls used to be diagnosed with schizophrenia as she's different in every setting. What do I do now? Diagnosed the school want to set support in place yet she hates standing out, doesn't know she has a diagnosis as she refuses to accept the tests were not looking to see if she was "mad". I have reports stating they are concerned she's vulnerable, particularly with older students, and stating the schools not the right environment..yet she's coping so far. I know she's faking it, a 'friend' has been round and she's so different around her. The therapist cites her as having the social understanding of a child half her chronological age. How can she be so very different? So now what to,ask from the school. Ideas please!
