Dd2 is poorly but i dont want to take her to hospital/gp because she will have a meltdown.

I feel really guilty and useless

Dd2 (ASD) has been poorly for a couple hours, she has a high temp and is very sleepy, i posted a thread here and every ones telling me she needs to see someone. At the moment she is happy (not upset) but still very hot, if i take her any where (A&E) she will get very upset which will make her temp worse. I really don't want to put her through a trip to A&E.

I suspect she may have heat stroke as she has no other symptoms (just hot and floppy). Am i being a bad mummy for not taking her?

She seems fine today, luckily she doesn't really make a lot of fuss when she is ill, she just sleeps or lies on the sofa. Dd1 on the other hand makes a real fuss .

I think the heat must have caused it as it came on so fast after being in the heat/sun. She's now playing in the garden as i'm struggling to keep her inside.
