Seeking autism assessment for my daughter (age 7)

Hi,

I have suspected autism for some time (since she was a toddler) but school have just started to raise similar concerns. They are willing to help us with a CAMHS referral to request assessment but I have some reservations. The main worry I have is that she won't get the assessment because she is too social. She wants friends and has close friends but there is a lot more to it than this. She struggles with friendships and with empathy etc. She also has some good language skills and wasn't delayed in her milestones. There are a lot of sensory issues however, and difficulties with attention/concentration which are now becoming an issue in school with learning. Do you think we should go for the CAMHS referral? Has anyone been in a similar position and managed to get an assessment/diagnosis? Thanks in advance!
