assessment

my dear daughter sarah 22. was called in by her doctor to hear about her referal.

it was a total refusal. more than that it was a really stupid refusal. they dont do autistic assessments for adults said it was not there responsabilty. they claimed my daughter should be assessed by the open uni. as she is a student with them.

now its clear to me that they dont know what they are talking about. OU is responsabile fot sarahs dyslexia and dysplaxia re testing post 16. they told us its free so ty OU.

BACK TO nhs shetland decieded to speak to head of mental health but on holiday. so directed to director of public health. oh what a load of woffle was spouted. she denied there was an assessment. and woffled away for a while. no wonder we have problems up here.

it really is annoying when experts dont know anything.

    Paul,

    Does your daughter have a health problem, such as stress, anxiety or depression? If there are no health implications then the NHS may not feel the need to deal with it.

    Some people with ASD can manage, to varying degrees of success, without intervention from the NHS.

    Could this explain the doctors response to a request for assessment?
