Hi, this is my first post! I’m not sure what to do and need some direction. I asked for an NHS referral for my child at the time to be assessed for autism. Basically, got the referral but did the testing on FaceTime due to lockdown. They told me she isn’t autistic as she’s able to engage in conversation and has eye contact ( even though she has vi). At the time I did say I disagree with there decision but felt helpless and didn’t know what to do. Obviously, time has gone on and my child that’s now an adult functioning has not improving. What are my next steps? It’s not about funding in education anymore, it’s about helping my daughter to be able to function. She can’t cope with changes, new environments, highly anxious, suffers from depression and so the list goes on. If anyone can advise me it would be very much appreciated. Thank you.
