denied refferal

My friends little boy is now 4 and he is showing all signs of having autism but the doctors are refusing to diagnose anything wrong with him. When we know as fact there is definitely something not right.. has anyone else had these problems and what did you do? Where can my friend take this further? As a second opinion is needed urgently.

    My daughter is 12.5yo and she had to deal with it at age 11.  It was difficult, she has needed guidance in the practical side, but explaining things factually and reassuring any worries will help.  Be prepared with pain killers in case of stomach pain as it would only cause more distress if she suffered with dysmenorrhoea it would make her anxious and even fixated on each month as she would be expecting pain.
