No I'm not. I know you meant the lvl 1* (and previously ass-burgers) stuff. Because the lvl 3 and real lvl 2 stuff is obvious from a younger age and more of a hassle to obtain that diagnosis for other reasons (it does happen a bit in aus cause lvl 2 is where the benefits are, more lvl 2s than you'd expect, but its still more of a hassle).
But the only time that teachers 'push' for that, cause it doesn't really benefit them, is when parents in denial bring their (often first) kid to school for the first time and to the teacher something is clearly wrong. But no, the teachers won't otherwise push for it because that diagnosis is just hassle for the teachers, not because the kid is screaming and bashing his head against a wall in response to a minor change in schedule as with real autism, but because it creates all sorts of additional paperwork, a real IEP, and if they are misbehaving it just gives an excuse for the kids behaviour that further enables it rather than putting an end to it, rather than getting them on the adhd meds to just zonk them out.
The teachers did something different to a different population of kids, the boisterous (bored) ones. The awkward quiet smart kids aren't getting that other label from teachers' pushing because they're behaving in the feminine structure that they've created in schools.
I'm still blaming women here, it's the parents, not the teachers though.
Which awkward, smart and quiet people do you know who got stuck with that? Did it happen to you?
