[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I used our ped for medical issues only -- illnesses, yearly checkups, shots -- because by the time my DS got his autism diagnosis both kids were familiar with him and he was convenient. He doesn't know a thing about autism and missed all the signs. We just added in other specialists as needed to deal with the autism. This kept us from having to go longer distances for routine care and enabled us to get the expertise we needed. [/quote] NP. Same. Our pediatrician is familiar with ADHD and handles the stimulant meds but is dismissive of autism. That's fine, we see other specialists for that. Our pediatrician is excellent for medical issues, common and rare, and knows our children and vice versa. [/quote]
