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

  • Hi kikat, just got told by the GP yesterday that she can see the paed for an  assessment. That's all I know so far. Unlike your son my girl (11) behaves relatively 'normally' in school etc. it's at home she let's go mostly. I have read here and elsewhere that girls tend to hide it more than boys, I hope the paedetrician knows this or I fear he will just send us home. Hopefully as you said he might take notice of the rom I fill in then as that will probably be more telling. 

    It does help to know what to expect, from the gist of things I think it will just be the paed who sees her. Thanks for your reply, helps a lot.
