[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP you are completely wrong. One of the main things pediatricians are trained to do is make referrals for specialists and that includes letting parents know whether the child may need to see a developmental pediatrician or get a neuropsych exam. If a parent directly asks is there suspicion of autism they should be able to do a first screening based on their training. Sometimes they are wrong but please don't belittle an entire group of professionals.[/quote] You proved my point in your post. Op said her pediatrician determined he's not autistic. That's not making a referral to a specialist. That's putting the specialists hat on and pretending you can make the determination yourself. Ask over on the SN board. Many parents of HFA children were told by pediatrician there was no possible autism because pediatricians believe they can interpret the DSM on their own. They can not.[/quote]
