[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is a ped not qualified to diagnose?[/quote] I don't know about your general pediatrician, but mine spends about 5 minutes with my kids, maybe slightly longer for well visits. Teasing out what was/was not ASD and what other diagnoses were appropriate, involved a 2 hour clinical interview with parents, 8-10 hours of testing, and additional time spent analyzing the results of the tests and the forms that I and the teachers completed. There is no way a regular pediatrician's office is set up to do that. In addition, they are not trained in the various ways that ASD and other developmental issues can manifest.[/quote]
