Autistic Traits v Autism diagnosis

Hi I am hoping for some advice please.  Briefly, my 14 year old son has been through CAMHS and has been told he does not meet diagnostic criteria for a diagnosis of Hyperkinetic Disorder or ASD.  But the SENCO at his school has said he has Autistic traits.  Would anyone be able to explain what the difference is please ?  Thanks.
