Help getting a referral

Hello I have no idea where to go now. I have just had a visit from CAMHS who have told me they can't refer my son for an assessment for asd as the pathway is closed. They do think there is asd issues and sensory issues but say they can't refer him. He's 11 years old and it's taken 4 years to get this far and now nothing. The school also believe he has asd. I really have no idea what to do, my son does need help and wondered if anyone else has had this problem. I want to get him the help he needs and deserves can you help please?
