Hello @wendy886 - & welcome to the community. Your GP should be your first port of call to look into this further for you. May I also suggest you look at the National Autistic Society's website: https://www.autism.org.uk/Scope also has an excellent service, which supports parents, called 'Navigate.' Please see: https://www.scope.org.uk/family-services/navigate/ if they can't help, I'm sure they'll point you in the right direction.Please do let us know how you get on, thank you.

Hello and welcome to the community @Wendy886. It's lovely to see you join us.
When you say that nobody is listening, who are you referring to? Have you already spoken to a GP about your concerns?
Just to let you know, I have moved your discussion over to our autism and neurodiversity category.0 -
Hello yes sorry the gp I have taken my daughter there last week discussing my concerns and his reply was children change.i felt awful ?.
Also it was 1 teacher who noticed behaviours from my daughter but the teacher is no longer at the school and other teachers are saying nothing is wrong.0 -
Hmm, that does sound tricky @wendy886. Is there another GP at your surgery that you could speak to, to get a second opinion?other teachers are saying nothing is wrongIs there a Special Educational Needs Coordinator (SENCo) at the school that you could speak to?
