Applying for DLA for Aspergers dd...question???

Ok..so as I have been reading the info about applying for DLA on cerebra. I was wondering about the supporting eveidence for a child with Aspergers. She has never seen our GP. She hada 2 day assessment when she was diagnosed, during which she saw consultant community paed,OT,SALT,optometrist and pyschologist. Since then she has seen SALT once, but has not seen anyone else, and has no ongoing follow up.
School are being fairly crap tbh, because she is fairly quiet and well behaved (saves the meltdowns for home LOL)and they are currently not really doing anything to meet her needs.
So, I'mnot sure how helpful any of these people would be for supporting info. I'm particularly concerned about the bit where it asks for someone who sees the child regularly and has seen them recently?
Any advice???

well its hard going and we had loads of evidence. I put CM down, but they didnt take her word for it. Put consultant pead and she put the right thing down

send the page (33 i thinik) to pead, they will do it, and feb isnt that long ago. Good luck, but unless you are waking alot at night (we arent) its a fight.
good luck
