[QUOTE="SunnyNC, post: 19897, member: 3459"] Hello all! My pediatrican wants to set my son up with a couple of specialists to have evaluations to find out what may be going on with him. (very mild autism or behavioral problem is what they think may be going on with him) My question/confusion comes from the referral/appointment with the Pediatric Neurologist. Now, those in here have said they have taken their difficult child to a Neuropsychologist. I was wondering if a Neurologist can/will do the same sort of evaluation as a neuropsychologist, are these 2 completely different doctors, and should I call the Pediatrician back to ask for a neuropsychologist instead? Ahhhhh!! HAHA What sort of evaluation should I expect from each type of doctors. other than an interview with myself and my husband? What further testing is often scheduled for diagnosis of either a behavior problem or autism? His appointment with the pediatric Neurologist is March 1st and his appointment with a pediatric Psychologist is March 2nd. I just want to be as mentally prepared as I possibly can for whatever the Doctors are going to say to me. I am going today to the library to find some of the recommended reading. Thanks for all insight! Rachel [/QUOTE]
