When I was getting my reports ready in 2014 for SSDI I found a report My high school did when I was a junior. It stated that I behaved by my actions like a senior in junior high. I should have felt like Aha evidence. But I felt cheated upset that they (school district) kept this info away from me. No where was Autism mentioned. .The school should have told me.This was done (report) in 1981. Your thoughts?

This was in 1981. In 1981, people with autism were severely affected, and did not attend regular school, usually. There was no mild autism or Asperger's.

I would just move on from this.

They would not likely mention autism but they could mention traits associated with autism or a common misdiagnosis for Autism back then.
