Do We Need A Delopmental Behavioral Pediatrician?
A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭

Our guy is 6 and has ASD. We were also told he has ADHD. He has a general pediatrician and a neurologist for his 2 meds he is on. Do we go to a psychiatrist who is a behavioral specialist? for instance, now he likes to take a cup of juice opr water and just pour it onto the floor. Slowly he is getting used to the bathroom, but is not trained; but does tell up when he has a poop. sometimes he just cries for a while.

We went to a Developmental Peditrician to confirm our son's diagnoise and to get suggestions because the first place that we went to was not that helpful. This Doctor took his time and listened to us a lot more. You might want to go in order to get some questions answered. The progress sounds wonderful!

I would deffinetly get him envolved with a group setting to learn how to socialize play games together etc and some speech maybe even ocupational therapy they will do evaluations for you also to tell you where he stands. They have resources that they will suggest. Try and see if they have it all in one facility and the doctors and therapist are all on the same chart. we moved to different doctors just to have that connectivity. The earlier you get these things going the better his prognosis will become. The earlier years are the most important. Praying that he keeps progressing
