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
do you know what an education refferal is the paediatricican made an education refferl. What is that and what does it mean ?

I'm here if you need me lovely ...I've got two autistic children they are amazing..you be strong till she gets the help ...no one knows your child better than you xx
aw thankyou I really appricate that ! What does an education refferl mean ? Do you know 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? Xx
so been to the GP and they had a patch meeting and we’ve had a paediatrician appoitment and the paediatriciam has done an education refferal so do you know what that is and means ?
What’s does it mean when a paediatrician does a education refferal
thankyou ! I didn’t know if an education refferal was a EHC ? Xx

You daughter will now have things put in place regarding her educational needs to help her xx
what does that mean does that mean a EHC assgment ? xx

An EHC plan is a plan that will follow your daughter through education explaining her needs ...xx

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
