For what it’s worth, when my daughter was first struggling as a preschooler, she went for testing.

The testing was exhaustive-- a full special ed workup. I had to answer questions about my pregnancy, about her early development, the whole drill.

They don’t test for one specific disability. They get a look at the whole picture, and see what’s there. That’s how they were able to discover her auditory processing issues: not because it’s what I asked for (I had never heard of it) but because it’s what the testing indicated.

By all means, give your guidance counselor all the information she needs to get the full picture.
