Should I tell the school not to give my daughter extra time in tests?

My dd is 13. When she was 8 she was diagnosed with ASD. She is very bright and has no difficulties at school. She is very different to the little girl she was at 8, she has a nice group of friends, she no longer has a lot of the issues she had then such as severe tics and unusual behaviours.
We have needed no interventions at school as she is doing really well but the school have the info re diagnoses.
She is currently having end of year tests and told me that in one of the tests the teacher told her she has an extra 15 minutes to finish the test, she asked why and the teacher told her it just says it on the register. Should I tell them she doesn't need this?

Thanks for replying @TractorTart. We're in the midst of a probable asd diagnosis for my able 11yo and I'm currently down the rabbit hole of reading about mending leaky guts and adding probiotics to diets 'curing' asd, so wondered if something like that had worked for you. It's really positive to hear that greater understanding helped your dd though. 🙂
