I've worked with educators the last 15 years. Most are wonderful and knowledgeable as I'm sure your wife is. But they are not trained psychologists to diagnose anything.
I fought for 16 years with my kids school's special education team to recognize my child's now diagnosed disfunctions. Even professionals have blind sides, especially with their own kids.
I'm just an unqualified stranger on the internet, but I wouldn't dismissed it on "my wife is a resource teacher so she'd know." It's a spectrum and really hard to tell sometimes.
