Our 9 year old has been referred by GP and Paediatrician for suspected ASD diagnosis - however all referrals go through a referral management team who are rejecting it because of lack of information.
They are asking for various evidence most of which need to come from the assumed school, but our children are all Home Educated and so these reports are not available.
This is proving a real stumbling block to even get on the waiting lists for assessment.
Has anyone experience of this and know what other forms of evidence are accepted by other teams in other areas. We have spoken to the Autistic society and they have said other pathways have to exist and ultimately we should make it a formal complaint but we would like to have some alternatives to suggest rather than just being negative in our response.
