Not sure if I have referral

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

  • Had my appointment yesterday. My daughter is being referred to the general paediatrician for an assessment. Not sure what this involves and am a bit worried because she will behave like any other 11 year old when we are there. The same as when she is in school.

    I assume there are tests that she can't fool? Anyone got any idea of what will be done in the assessment? 

    Thanks
