Hi could really do with some advice,
My daughter now 12 and a half was referred to Rotherham CAMHS almost 2 years ago by our GP. She's always had sleep problems, sensory issues (particularly with clothes), obsessive routines etc. She started her comprehensive school last September and literally dropped out after a month (that's another story)
CAMHS only took us seriously at this point, as her anxiety and meltdowns were off the scale at this point in time.
After lots and lots of nagging (and a visit to my MP) they started to test her for ASD, initially neuro development in which they found she missed social cues and struggled with understanding emotions and as a result put her forward for ADOS, which came back inconclusive, then Gilberg which I've been told is also inconclusive. I've had no feedback as to why the tests were inconclusive or explanation as to what this means, even though I have asked on more than one occasion, our worker can't even tell me what happens next!! Our worker cannot understand why we want a diagnosis anyway! (I have explained this to her on numerous occasions!)
My daughter has however been referred to a Psychotherapist to look at the possibility of working on her emotional literacy, we have our initial meeting on Monday to discuss this.
I'm convinced she's an Aspie, when I first read the Tony Attwood information on Aspergers in girls, it was like someone had written a story about my daughter!! She's very bright, academically clever and has developed many coping mechanisms for herself.
Can anyone shed any light as to what inconclusive would mean in our situation?
Thanks in advance

Advice needed, has anyone come across inconclusive ASD test results before and what does it mean?
