I am looking for a new doctor for my son. I need to find a Developmental Pediatrician who specializes in Autism Spectrum Disorders in Toronto, ON. His current doctor does not specialize and refuses to give me a referral. Is there anyone you guys could recommend? A doctor that is willing to take new patients without a referral? Thanks.

Can you be more specific about what you are looking for in a developmental ped? Why can't you get a refferal?

Dr Gannage listed above is NOT a developmental pediatrician. He will take a Naturopath approach and is an MD.

There is one that was recommend to me that is good with kids on the spectrum. Last name is Handley-Derry. On danforth road. I don't have phone number but you can look up. Most pediatricians need a referral from a family doctor. That's the only way to get in. I had a really good one but he got ill and closed his practice. I am with a family doctor right now that I trust. This is extemely difficult to get one that you trust and that understands autism. Best to have a doctor you trust. That's what's important.
