Tell us why you are interested in seeing a ped neuro. They are great for purely medical issues (headaches, seizures, you need an MRI) but completely lousy for any kind of developmental issue. John Wells is well regarded, but if you are concerned about your child's development, do NOT see a neuro. See a developmental pediatrician. We can give you names for those too. [ Reply | More

My gf waited a year before seeing a neuro who finally dx her ds. Dev Ped didn't help at all, he's not autistic. He's severely delayed. [ Reply | More

I'm a bit upset by people writing in a way that there is something *wrong* if your child is on the spectrum but not *fine* if just delayed. It seems to happen here once too often. [ Reply | More

also whether a child is on the spectrum or *just* delayed the interventions are often the same. The earlier and more intensive the better. [ Reply | More

often the important thing about getting a dx is the ability to get the intensive services. [ Reply | More

so true. my ds does not have a spectrum dx (as per dev ped and neuro) but receives the same tx's (ABA, OT, speech) and frankly in some ways it might be easier to have a spectrum dx b/c then he wouldn't be this unusual case. [ Reply | More

To me that meant she didn't see a good dev ped. Sadly there are poor dev peds, but the entire discipline of ped neurology is not geared towards pinpointing disorders in kids who have subtle, "soft" signs instead of classic hard signs. Many neurologists will tell you that they don't think sensory issues truly exist, for example. [ Reply | More

One place to start is your pediatrician, the next are review sources like Castle Connolley directory. Did your dev ped recommend you see one? [ Reply | More
