Hi, we are just about to embark on our 2nd round of the referal process for our 6 year old daughter. She was assessed by SALTS 2 years ago for her food/eating issues who informed us it was not physical but after meeting DD she made the referal to PCAMS (Primary Child and Adult mental health) They pretty much poo poo'd our concerns at the time and sent us away, although DD spent all 6 sessions hid upstairs or behind a curtain. As she has gotten older some of her problems remain and our GP is very surprised that she has not been refered on fo further assessment. So we start the process again. DD's school are behind us and we have started collecting all the evidence we need to support our claim that she has Aspergers. I have 3 nephews all on the spectrum (I think my sister may even be a member on here) so a lot of the 'symptoms' for want of a better word, I can spot from a mile off. Admittedly she is very high functioning, but the only way to describe her is a very intelligent lone wolf that live in a bubble.
I would love to hear your experiences of girls with aspergers and how you found the whole process. I am determined that my worries will be heard this time.
