Knoxville, TN

I am looking for a pediatrician in the Knoxville, TN area for my 9 month old son. He has an increased risk of developing autism because his 3 year old sister was diagnosed with autism last summer. We have not vaccinated him so far to try to prevent vaccine injury in an attempt to lower the probability that he will develop autism. Does anyone know of a pediatrician that is good at noticing the signs of ASD and is OK with parents avoiding vaccinations of their children.

Thanks,
Scott

Try UT's children's hospital.

You can probably do a genetic test to rule out between them if the cause is related to a known gene type.
