Not sure if I have referral

Justfour

Hi all. A few weeks ago I went to the GP to hopefully get a referral for my 11year old whom I suspect has an ASD. I went in with a list and she said she would pass it on and IF   The paediatrician got back to her she would phone me.

This morning I've had an appointment letter through to 'discuss' a letter from the hospital. It was computer generated so no details.

If anyone out there knows what this might mean, it will save me a lot of wondering etc. 

I assumed the pead would refer me to a autism specialist or the gp would phone to say there's-nothing to worry about. 

Any ideas would be gratefully received. Thanks x

  • Have you been to see the GP yet?

    Also I would advise contacting the NAS (give them a ring they are really helpful) and find out where your nearest diagnostic centres are.

    I contacted them to get a list of our nearest centres and I have that as well as various traits etc printed out to drop off at the GP's tomorrow (after I called her and discussed it all she is happy to refer her as CAMHS are making no progress)

    Hope the appointment did/goes well for you.
