Anxiety with ADHD/ASD

I've had two appointments with CAMHS following school referral for ADHD for my dd(11). She scores highly for ADHD but very highly for anxiety and has some autistic traits but not classic ASD. The anxiety is a bigger issue than the ADHD really and can exacerbate the ADHD symptoms a well. She's going to start CBT but there's a waiting list. She's starting secondary school in September so obviously I will raise it with them but just wondering if anyone has any experiences to share? I feel quite down about it tbh. She's only 11 so I can only imagine teenage years will be worse and I'm worried about self harm etc.
