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

  • Hi schmedz, well so far so good. I went to GP in June, he got back to gp in July to say he would assess my girl and the dr thinks this will happen sooner rather than Later so hopefully ball rolling nice and smoothly. The dr. We are going to see for assessment though is a general paediatrician so I just hope he knows what he's doing especially as diagnosis in girls is much more difficult.

    Thanks for your kind words.
