Is my daughter autistic?

Sharri2415

Hi, I have 5 children aged between 19 and 4. The eldest has always had problems and only now is undergoing diagnosis, after pushing for Aspergers and ADHD. My youngest daughter is also very different from the others. She is 8 next month, but 2 years behind at school.  I went to the doctors to check for possible SPD, as she has major sensitivity issues. After a year I was told that they thought it was Dyslexia??? Although she has quite a few social issues. Recently at school she was in the toilet and someone got pushed against the door, which made it open. Ever since she refuses to drink at schol so she doesn't need to use the toilet. She even freaks at home, asking if her older sister and friend are in, incase they walk in on her. She doesn't like lots of people and is mature with her speech. What do I do if I don't agree with professionals because she doesn't tick all the boxes????
