Hello all…
Some advice please..
Just a bit of back story my daughter is 10 years old. She has been put on the waiting list to CDC to get an autism and adhd assessment. She has giant pupils and cries when it is sunny as says it hurts her eyes. Complains of headaches and had her eyes tested and they are fine. Since April she keeps being sick randomly throughout the month - she will be sick once, say her belly hurts then nothing like it didn’t even happen. I am worried because it’s happened again. My daughter has no filter and will tell school she has been sick and this is affecting school but it’s not sickness doctors have said. I don’t know what to do worried about her. Doctors are not listening and even sending her for tests or something. Any help or advice please?

Have you had an eye test? Would start there. Will she wear sunglasses or a what when sunny?

Would Keep a log of the sickness and headaches & book back to doctor post eye test to share concerns about the Headaches/sickness (if you are mentioning ASD or ADHD at the same time, it can feel to a GP like that is your focus) focus on the impact and if you have an outcome you want - scan or referral, ask for it.

If anything gets worse with vision/dizziness etc would go quicker.

Could it be migraines?
