Hi there, sounds so frustrating. Have you chatted with school etc?
Local autism charities may be able to sign post you.
Meanwhile, have you got a support? -

Hi @bargainsmummy15
Have you got a friendly GP you could talk to? That way you could go through all the things that are making you think you're child is autistic and rule out other possibilities as well. Don't forget that the GP can also point you in the right direction for your own assessments if needs be, as well.
