Unfortunately much of the diagnostic procedure for autism diagnoses is geared towards children...there just is not as much help/resources for those of us who aren't in that age group, so sometimes they might piece together different things maybe even some tests more geared towards the younger age group, to attempt to test for autism...at least that is how it was explained when I got diagnosed and some questions applied more to younger people, not the ones the neurologist asked but some on the multiple choice questionnaire thing. So it could very well be right they sent you that.

Fair enough, that's what I took from it as well. Hopefully they understand that the school's response is a guess. :)
