We were told recently that my daughter doesn’t have ASD. She didn’t take it well, and I had unfortunately expected that outcome, since she masks very well, and appears very sociably able. They said they couldn’t gather enough info during our meetings so she scored low, and that’s the conclusion they have come too.
I don’t agree with some of the findings on the report, and some comments are untrue, or reported incorrectly. Ie. Things I didn’t say. Her interests and routines weren’t even mentioned, and they said she probably has anxiety.
I would like to get her referred to somewhere that deals with girls. She’s very bright, and articulate but suffers socially along with her sensory issues (which they didn’t agree were an issue).
Can anyone point me in the right direction of what to do next? We’re seeing the GP later today as she’s suffering mentally. Skipping school, refusal to go, not eating, sleeping all the time through mental exhaustion and wants to ‘end it all’ as she feels she can’t go on how she is...
