camhs being awkward with my request

My daughter is 16 and been under camhs on and off since she was about 8. She could write a book on CBT as this is all they've done. She was referred to the eating disorder clinic in August last year they diagnosed her with clinical depression, eating disorder (fear of food) anxiety , school phobia.  She also self harms. I've always told her councillors that I felt she was autistic but they said she wasn't.  Now her brother has a referral for autism, I sent a written  letter to them insisting on a referral for her using the nice guidelines.  They have responded by sending me 2 Australian scale questionnaire one for myself to complete and one for school.  She's not been attending school for 2 years (to which they know) she is in part time hospital school.  So who do I ask to fill out the other form?

    Kadam's shown how to make a case really well:-)

    can i add a suggestion to try and be as calm and reasonable as possible? I'm an aspie and, since diagnosis, i have become painfully aware of my ability to ruin a perfectly good case by becoming beligerent and impatient.

    @kadam i recently read that bipolar can get misdiagnosed in aspies. Are they absolutely sure that she has bipolar and that it isnt't really years of undiagnosed aspie showing up as bipolar? Have a look at this article and see what you think.
