Diagnosis battle

nathsmum

Hello everyone,  I am new here. I guess, like others I have found my way here as a parent at the end of my tether. 

I have known for years that my son is on the spectrum, but I was brushed off by a health visitor when he was 2 and as I haven't been able to cope with his difficulties well, I didn't worry too much about it until now. He is now 7 and it would seem he leans towards aspergers.  

I have the full support of my son's school and the autism team, who are informally involved at the moment. Despite my GP having a letter from my son's head teacher and SenCo, he is still being awkward about referring him for an assessment. 

I guess what I am asking for is advice on how to deal with him, or even some explanation as to why he is being so awkward about it.  Is it a funding thing?

Please help

  • I spoke again with the GP and seemed very suspicious about how i knew so much. He quizzed me for a while then agreed to refer my son back to CAMHS. So fingers crossed we will get somewhere this time!

    Thank you everyone for your support, I have a feeling I will be visiting this forum often!
