Should I apply for an EHCP

Hi 

im wondering if anyone can help me or point me in the right direction please,

our daughter has been diagnosed with autism, OCD and chronic tic disorder 

at school she is apparently hitting the national average and therefore school

state there is no evidence to support an application at present for an EHCP.

she suffers severely at school and great that she is making the grade however it's the other areas she is struggling in i.e social communication etc so because she is making the grades does this mean we would t stand a chance if we applied for an EHCP.

kind regards

    I'm in a similar position, 10 year old daughter diagnosed this week with ADHD and AS. I've not had a chance to speak to school yet but sent letter in to give them the verdict.  I was quite surprised not to get a phone call or contact back to acknowledge, I wonder if there is going to be resistance there....despite waiting 3 years for this I'm not fully up to speed on what I need to do next, I've been so focuses on making the diagnosis happen.

    So, from what is said above, do I have to formally request an assessment for the EHC?
