Pre-diagnosis support

Hi Golf23, 

I appreciate the link, thank you. I'm not going to explain my reasonings. The reason for reaching out is to find other parents in a similar situation, I have resources in place, it's having a judgement free space to just opening talk about things. 

Thanks

What makes you think she is Autistic?

The bbc has a toolkit that might be helpful

Thank you for the link Karin 

Hello Heidi,

It's a great idea to find other parents in the same situation as you to share experiences. The NAS website has a directory and you can type your area or postcode and see what comes up. Here is the link: https://www.autism.org.uk/directory

All the best,

Hey Twinn, thank you for sharing, it has helped hearing your story, thank you for sharing your experience. Yes, it is tough - this in-between ground - I wish you all the best and I will let you know if I find anything helpful in the meantime. 

Hi Heidi. I was diagnosed when I was a teen, now mid thirties... my wife and I are currently in the same situation with our 6 year old as we look for a diagnosis (only to be told it was the pandemic which caused her lack of social skills) which wasn't the case as she struggled and was showing signs in various places before the pandemic, since she was very young - so many years ago. I don't have a solution unfortunately as we are still searching ourselves for help. We simply keep pushing the doctor to ask the CDC to reconsider the original referral and actually see the struggles our daughter has. I hope you do find some support, it can be tough
