What symptoms do you see in your girls with ADHD?

I'm in two minds whether or not my daughter has it.
Thank you x

My dd age 6 has been referred by her school for ADHD and ASD assessment. I’m not sure where the line between the two is, but the main things we see that are likely attributed to ND are endless energy and inability to sit still, poor concentration, very explosive and reactionary to anything not going right and any criticism or instructions she doesn’t like, big meltdowns including violent behaviour towards us, very social and fairly confident but doesn’t understand normal social cues or others emotions that well, struggles to go to sleep and therefore is up late, some sensory issues. She is very well behaved at school, most of this is the second she leaves the school gate, she is very bright and not behind although she does struggle with concentration at school too and is taken out for support sessions.
