In my son’s case he was evaluated for asd at 4.5, and in addition to getting the dx needed for ABA, she also noticed he had a peculiar way of staring into space for 3 secs. Looked normal to me! But he soon after got a mild epilepsy diagnosis too. :( we had no family history and he was otherwise medically healthy! so maybe our experience is extreme, but I do think they are trained to see some things that therapists and normal peds might miss.

We got a very detailed visit summary (our dev ped was at Kennedy Krieger too). I always find evaluator’s observations interesting.

^ I should add that he had already been evaluated by our ped, early intervention, multiple OTs, STs, and we are close friends with several  medical specialists who had spent time casually observing him. My husband and I have fancy degrees, run in educated circles, etc., but the dev ped just saw the epilepsy (and other subtle things pertaining to his ASD) that no one else had. [/quote]
