My name is Ruth currently living in the Oxfordshire area.
I am a mother of a 16 years old girl whom we now suspect has Asperger's Syndrome. The more I research the symptoms, the more I am becoming convinced my daughter needs to see a specialist capable of confirming our suspicion....but where exactly to go? We are a family of low income - so we cannot afford thousands of pounds for a diagnosis. So, my question is, do any of you know where a family with low income can take their 16 years old daughter for a proper diagnosis of Asperger's Syndrome?
I would HIGHLY appreciate any direction on this matter.
Many thanks
Ruth
There are autism tests available online, AQ10, AQ50 and RAADS-R tests. It would be useful for your daughter to take them before you raise a referral with your GP, as test scores within the autistic range will give you useful leverage on your GP.
