I have phoned the specialist that my DD was referred to last year. Her receptionist was very helpful and seems to think that she didn't even get to see the last referral (via the hospital system) as she doesn't turn kids away. Any way I have contacted my GP about writing another referral for her and also it was suggested that she get one for CAMHS as well. Luckily they are both in the same building. DD has already been through CAMHS but hopefully these ones are trained to spot where she is lying. I'm feeling a little more hopeful but don't want to get to excited iykwim. This is going to be another long road to travel. Not sure if I have the energy to keep going much longer though.
