help with being diagnosed

NAS89112

my daughter is 5 years old, we attended a hospital appointment who referred us for an autism assessment, the report they made, said they were very confident there was loads of evidence to support autism, the doctor agreed, but her school has rang our doctor and said they completely do not agree at all, has anyone had this? is there anything i can do, i have spoken to the school so many times about this, the whole of last week there were so many melt downs, times where she had to sit alone in the office for them to calm her down, but they mentioned none of this to the doctor.

  • Can the school actually stop the assessment going ahead, then?

    They can’t stop them. But because they have disagreed and it’s on record they have to do another assessment even though 3 doctors have agreed she definitely has signs of autism.

    but now the school are saying she has signs and they want her help. 

    but because the school first said they don’t think she does it’s now pushed us Back waiting another 9 months for the next assessment. As the school have now said they agree the doctor can’t change her mind on diagnosing her as it’s now record that someone didn’t agree. So she has to do it by the book.
