Broken system fails neurodivergent teen seeking help

Medical professionals claim they cannot initiate an autism evaluation for my teenager, insisting it must originate from her school - which is completely false. This is especially problematic since she effectively camouflages her challenges at school and maintains good academic performance. Neurodivergence is consistently minimized, with dismissive suggestions like checking her pulse during stress and attributing everything to typical adolescent behavior. She's become housebound with agoraphobia, and after finally securing a medical appointment, absolutely nothing was accomplished. Her severe anxiety remains unaddressed, with doctors refusing medication. The incredibly harmful statement that "things only become more stressful" was actually told to a depressed, anxious child - how unprofessional and damaging. Her special educational needs support has been stripped away, and she's been languishing on the CAMHS waiting list for nearly three years. What options are left? She's been completely abandoned and disregarded by the system. The treatment is utterly unacceptable.
