This is long - sorry. DD is now 12.
i don't know what to say tomorrow or what will happen.
she's been referred to a different consultant as a last resort as previous doc doesn't know what to do next.
potted history
crap diet her whole life. she eats bread, roast potatoes, chicken, ham, crackers, crisps, biscuits, cake (That's it)
3 years ago started feeling sick all the time. every day, often. has tummy cramps. never actually sick (puke phobic) bowels OK.
medically nothing obvious wrong - even had an endoscopy 2 years ago which was normal.
behaviour always been a problem. has huge tantrums. hates changes in routine. doesn't cope with noise, touch, taste, smells, crowds, being thwarted. has very few interests. doesn't actually like much at all.
think she's quite emotionally immature but could be bright if she put her mind to it.
school. went through a school refusal stage about 4 years ago - has been a huge battle to get her there since. she does go now but hates it.
i think she possibly has aspergers - waiting for PADG assesssment (9 months and counting) had some CAMHS input but she wouldn't engage at all so they kind of gave up and passed her on for more assessment.
I'm not convinced and never have been that her nausea and abdo pain is all psychological. it is worse after she eats. but also worse if there's something going on she doesn't like.
SO what next? any ideas at all?
