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?

  • Ive since had yet another refusal from camhs they are now saying her anxiety etc is copied behaviour from being around it. I don't get it. Im really frustrated now, how can she learn behaviour... they have now referred her to 'no labels' as she refuses to cooperate with her camhs councillor she says they are patronising.  

    Im still going to push further as she is meant to be starting college in september and is terrified. Although I have her in under the learning support team there, she still doesn't know if she can go through with it. Camhs say I shouldn't go with her demands and to force her out of her comfort zone... 

    I'm at a loss.
