Hi,
I'm grandma to a 13 year old who is displaying symptoms of mild autism or possibly Aspergers, or possibly ADHD. Even some strangers he comes into contact with are picking up on the fact something is wrong with him including one lady who has worked with kids like him.
His mum and I have been trying to get a diagnosis so we can get some help for him but feel we are banging our heads against a brick wall. We went to his GP who has had very little contact with him so doesn't really know him over a year ago to try get him referred to a paediatrician. It has taken over a year to get a reply from the paediatric department who have said they do not feel it is appropriate for him to be seen by them and to have a word with the SENCO teacher at school. We took a copy of the reply into school and asked for an appointment to see her at the begining of the week but so far have not recieved an appointment or any contact from the school.
Please can anyone here point us in the right direction of what to do and who else we can contact before hurts himself, someone else or gets himself into trouble of some sort.
