What am I looking at?

Go to Dr. Stanley Greenspan, a psychiatrist in Bethesda also, if you want the most accurate diagnosis possible. In my opinion Kennedy Krieger probably can't even dx as accurately or has as much knowledge as this guy, Greenspan. He's a genius. He's written a dozen or so books on not just autism but also on sensory integration disorder and regulatory issues. He developed floortime. He's actually the father of floortime. So you feel like you're seeing the best in the business.

True, but he's also about 90,000 years old and has a waiting list over half a year long. And 6 - 9 months is a LONG time to wait in the life of a 4 year old, after all. There are now thousands of clinicians and therapists who employ this model and you can actually get an appointment with some of them. This is not a knock on Greenspan, just saying that he's something of a franchiser at this point and you can get the same methodology from someone else.

In a similar vein, just because I want to buy a car that was made on an assembly line, I don't have to dig up Henry Ford to get him to build it for me, do I?
