Hi
I am new to the community but have been reading others people's experience when trying to get a diagnosis for their children.
I have read lots of Iinformation on the NAS website and a book that was recommended to me, the more I read the more convinced I am that our 10 yr old daughter is on the spectrum and meets a lot of traits for Aspergers.
When you go to your GP to talk about a referral what % of traits do they look for them to meet before looking into a referral?
Both my husband and I feel she meets at least 75-80% of the traits listed. We have even researched the traits in females as they can be slighlty different to males.
If the GP agrees to a referral who is it that they refer to for assessment?
Thank you for any help or advice for this part of the process!
