Autism

are any of your children autistic but could easily pass as neurotypical out of the home and need little support? I have my suspicions my 9 year old is autistic but she's one of those who could easily slip through the net and I don't know whether trying to have her assessed would benefit her or cause problems. Would love to chat with someone who has a child similar.

Hiya, I also have a 9 year old like this. Happy to chat x

My 10 girl is the same. They assessed her and said that could be autism or attachment issues. The CAMHS said that they are pretty sure the autism service wouldn't diagnose her. She is high function. I am just concerned that high school is coming and she won't have so much support as in primary school. I know the feeling.
