Does your child (if diagnosed with ASD ) see a regular pediatrician, behavioral pediatrician or neurologist to follow up with his diagnosis? I feel like my pediatrician isn't extremely well versed in autism, so was wondering what others did.
My children have a regular Pedi although he is well versed in ASD and other disabilities. He is great and if he does not know something he will ask other doctors. He will also consult with the… read more
If so how difficult was the process?
We have it for both children and it was not all that difficult. You have to be prepared and have all your documentation ready. You need medical documentation, evaluations and financial documentation… read more
