Can anyone help?

NAS38548

hi there I’m new to the group:)

my 9 year old daughter was recently referred to camhs after me noticing asd traits 

she has been for her 1st initial assessment a few weeks ago and I’ve had a letter back saying my daughter will now be referred for PAD assesment? 

Can anyone tell me what this means? It’s definitely not PDA on the letter which someone thought could be spelling error! 

Hope someone can help:) 

thanks

  • Hi, welcome to the group.  Sounds like it could be a typo, as PAD is Peripheral artery disease. 

    Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is a condition of the blood vessels that supply the legs and feet. It leads to narrowing and hardening of the arteries. This causes decreased blood flow, which can injure nerves and other tissues.
