Back story is that dd 2 was referred to CAMHS where we lived previously when she was 5 and was seen on a regular basis for assessment. We moved 450 miles away in 2012 and they did a referral to CAMHS in this area. I have a copy of the letter which states dd is likely to be on the spectrum and needs to be assessed further as she is still young.
CAMHS saw us for 30 minutes, talked to me while dd lined up every toy in the roo. In height order and refused to talk and then we got a letter saying there's nothing wrong and removed her from the list.
I have been back to the GP many times asking for another referral. We were assigned an outreach worker who was at a loss and said we need to go back to CAMHS.
Finally saw a nurse at the practice who did a referral. We waited, got the appointment and both dd and I filled out forms about her and I went to the return appointment where I was told she needed a referral to paediatrics but I need to do a parenting course first.
The waiting list for the parenting course was months and I was offered a place this month. I'm having surgery in two weeks which means I'll be laid up for 2-3 months. So I was offered a home course but the waiting list is much longer.
I went back to the GP in November last year and asked for something to help her sleep. I was given two weeks of sedative but when I asked for more on another visit was refused. They did say they would refer to paediatrics immediately rather than waiting until I've done the parenting course though.
I got an appointment through for June this year. Today dd has come from school with a letter from paediatrics saying they don't want to see her as CAMHS would be better placed to deal with this.
I want to fucking scream. Four years. Four fucking years and I've got precisely nowhere. Dd does not sleep. She is transiting on endlessly even as I write this. The obsessions, the talking, the anxiety, the fucking talking, the not sleeping. I'm reaching the point of totally breaking down.
How do I deal with this?? Who do I complain to? Because I feel failed by everyone.
