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.

When you say that nobody is listening, who are you referring to? Have you already spoken to a GP about your concerns?

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. -
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?
