Can a functional neurologist diagnose autism spectrum disorder?

The AAP website has more information on the diagnosis of autism. A Pediatric Neurologist may be arranged by your PCP.

Neurologists can as a part of medical/diagnostic team diagnose autism. The important caveat is indeed the training, interest, and experience of the physician. Usually in the case of a child, this involves developmental assessment, speech pathology assessment, and pediatric/ adult neurology exams. Lifespan diagnosis can present a marked challenge for individuals differently trained.
