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?

  • Hi i have been going back and forth to Camhs for a long time now with my daughter,i find them very useless saying i think your daughter has got ASD,then to go back the next visit for her to say,well i dont think she has got ASD as the school teacher doesnt think so,i have had a gutful now,the school teacher is no child phycologist.My daughter self harms,head bangs,looses her temper every day and has melt downs which last for about half a hour,if i could afford a private diagnostic i would.Also my daughter has Anxiety and low self esteem.Camhs should be seeing her,our last appointment was 13th January 2013.Not helpful at all
