Hi my lovely ...I promise you it will be ok ..I just hope you've got alot of patience and fight in you ..might sound stupid and a given but I've been in the same situation it took 3 years for my oldest son he was 2 at the time ...I could tell you everything my lovely what he had to go through and the fight we went through...all I will say is you will need the diagnosis of autism on paper for her to get the help she needs ...keep going xx

Autism assessment is were they watch your child play and see if they communicate verbally and interact with toys the way there suppose to be used , they will also look for signs of autism which is speech delay hand flapping poor eye contact etc .I don't know what paediatrician referral education is . I am here to talk to if you need 🙏

Go to your doctor they will refer you to a paediatrician...once they have it might take bloody months probably longer to go and see them ...they will meet your daughter and diagnose...you can't get an educational plan for her untill she is diagnosed then she will get one and it will follow her through her education...is she at nursery?

Depending on how your daughter is they will put her needs on paper and it will follow her through education..my son started in mainstream school but couldn't cope so needed to be moved it will change every year to her needs xx
