Student: quiet in class (because overwhelmed), selective about participation, struggles with group work, prefers predictable routines. No diagnosis. Parent doesn't see it. How do I suggest evaluation without offending?

Teacher sees, parent doesn't.

How do you raise concerns about a student's possible neurodivergence professionally?

The fact that you're asking puts you ahead of most. The kids notice which teachers try.
