Boldlyguessing,
I agree with Dee. Getting a "label" is an essential first step to getting accommodations to help in school.
My son was labeled with an ASD at age 3 and prompted us to get LOTS of early intervention services. These have helped so that I knew how to explain the meltdowns, hiding under the table, etc to the teachers and to myself. He's not a bad kid, he has autism and because I know that (and my son knows that), we have strategies to cope with meltdown prevention, among other things.
And yes, now he is labeled PG, too, so I can definitely understand how confusing THAT combination can be with your daughter!
Your first priority should be getting an evaluation. You will be happy to have an answer, and the answer will help get the right accommodations if necessary, and your daughter will thrive!! Really
