Undiagnosed Autism my daughter

Hi my daughter is 9 years old and showing some autism traits I’ve been to see GP how referred her to single point access who rang me to discuss my daughter they then got a triage team to ring ms who recommend counselling after a 10 week wait for initial assessment then a further wait for counselling to start she is now 2 weeks in counselling no update off counsellor on anything I know it’s confidential but if counsellor suspected autism or any other mental health issues would they discuss this with me or wait til end of counselling sessions anyone any experience on this ?

My concerns are my daughter struggles with sensory noise ,crowds ,meltdown over clothing got have baggy clothes feels irritated by buttons , clothes sticking to her  . Also gets bored very easy , doesn’t like you touching her without telling her but constantly wanting cuddles but got be when she wants ,sometimes makes silly noises but not always .Also has panic attacks could be for no reason etc could be just a cinema in have to leave as feels sick in shaky . Also absessed  with pandas also loves art got to be constantly challenged anyone experienced any of these any help or support would be appreciated Thankyou for reading .
