Hi everyone,

I am after some advice on a paed that specilises in GDD, SPD, and Autisim

I have always had my suspicions about DD (mummy gut instinct) at 33mos she seen by an OT finally, they have said its auditory disorder/ vestibular dysfunction. After a quick chat to DSC about early intervention he said its most likely once we see our Paed next week that she will be clinically diagnosed with GDD because of her age and then we have to go through the processes of eligibility.

We have an appointment next week to start gross motor therapy with our OT who I have sourced on my own as I was sick of getting no answers or the generic response that "its normal" from my GP. Daily things are getting harder, the tantrums are more extreme. Most days I am exhausted. Her signs/symptoms are ear covering, tactile, shuts down into her own world when we are in a crowded area, difficulty with gross motor skill for example climbing any play equipment or walking up down stairs (padded or normal) or any sort of elevation. Loud sounds and abnormal sounds (that we wouldn't notice) and the tantrums, meltdowns are epic and frequent, severe separation anxiety.

I have read some reviews on the paed I have been given a referral too by my GP and I am not convinced he may be the correct person to see. I won't be mentioning names. If anyone has some advice, suggestions it would be appreciated. I am a bit lost as to what to do next. I don't think just having an OT is enough to treat the issues my daughter has.

Please PM me with doctor recommendations.
