  1. Finally after 16yrs of trying, someone actually listened!! My daughter had her assessment last Tuesday and already I have received the report and diagnosis. She does indeed have ASD and according to the report it is quite a high level and she needs a huge amount of support in all areas. I am so grateful to doctor Liley for seeing her and for all her advice. Hopefully we can now move forward and get her all the help and support she needs. I feel like a huge weight has been lifted from me. I think maybe schools should take note and realise, don't label a child a naughty child and kick them out of school, look a little deeper and listen to the parents. If this had happened in my daughters case she could have got the help she needed years ago!!
  2. Thank you all for your help and advice. Tomorrow I will make the 2hr journey for the assessment and hope for the best.
  3. I have been trying to get my daughter assesed for 14yrs! Since she was a child I have had problems with her and been told continuously she is just a naughty child and will grow out of it. Having 3 other children I recognised there was a problem with her and finally when she was 19, had been excluded from 4 schools and walked out of college my GP left the practice and along came a new female GP. I voiced my concerns to her and after spending just 10 mins with my daughter told me she is sure my daughter has aspergers!! I had suspected this for some time but did not mention it as I did not want to put words in the doctors mouth. My daughter was referred for an assessment in November 2013 and 2 weeks ago we finally received an appointment for next week. I have to drive nearly 100 miles by 9am for the appointment and I am told if we are late or miss it we will wait another year for the next one!! I would drive all night if it meant getting her the help she needs. Can anyone tell me what to expect at the assessment? They say it will take up to 3 hours to complete. I have been to hell and back with my daughter and each day is a new struggle and a new challenge, I am drained and don't know how to help her anymore.
