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?

    Is it worth saying that camhs may be as difficult to deal with as an autistic child is hard to get through to? You don't give up on the autistic child because you think that there are benefits to be gained. Should you give up on camhs because you haven't worked out how to persuade them to co-operate with you?
