I'm not sure if I'm missing something, but dd has been referred to an EP following an autism (hf) diagnosis. Dd though, age 4, is home educated.
I really understand how she learns, plus I'm a teacher (or was).
I'm not sure what dd will get out of it if she's not at school.
Local services are none existent, referrals just never happen and assessments are poor. I end up depressed after them. One wrote 'xxxx will need significant support. She was observed spinning, made no eye contact and was frightened of touch. Her behaviour is repeatative and she shows no imagination."
This really isn't dd, the woman was just so bad with her she sent her to a place Ive never seen. Dd can talk age approximately and is just quirky in speech. I'm at the point of disengaging before I tell them where to stick a parenting course
