After a bit of advice really and support from people who have been through all this. DD is 3 and showing a lot of signs she's high functioning autistic or Aspergic. My sister is high functioning autistic, so it's also in the family. Been to our hv who did a questionnaire with me, but seemed really dismissive. It didn't help that DD was on good form that day and seemed totally nt(apart from her American accent she adopts when she's being social) of course once we got home she was very destructive and upset as she'd had enough of being social and was totally overwhelmed.
Had a message yesterday from someone, who had a meeting with my health visitor and wants to give us feedback. Haven't been able to get through to her and I'm terrified DD is going to be dismissed. The woman said she was part of the MBA or MDA team, if anyone knows what that is?
I'm so worried DD will be dismissed like my sister was. My sister has been through so many mental health issues and struggles she didn't need to in her life because she hid her autism so well. I don't want that for DD.
