My 11 year old daughter TSH level

She has a complete blood work up because she's been not feeling well and her TSH level came in at .033 and has been referred to an endocrine specialist, what can I expect from the visit? What else should be tested? She is 11 years old, 5' 6" tall and 125 lbs., she has a tremendous appetite and is always hungry and will get nauseous and sick if she doesn't eat. She had gotten giant fee in the last 6 months and is currently wearing a size 11.5 or 12 in women's and she has large hands as well. Her face isn't as feminine as it used to be either, it seems to be wider. She hasn't started her menstrual cycle yet, but I am worried about her growth. She is very easily agitated, i've been told over the years that she was ADHD or had Asperger's, and is lately complaining about her left eye hurting all the time. Should I tell all of this to the doctor? Will they do anything for her? What should I expect?

Would tell all this to the pediatric endocrinologist and expect both a thorough thyroid testing as well as possible pituitary testing.
