Depends on location: The two medical specialties with potential expertise are behavioral and developmental pediatrics and child and adolescent psychiatry. For young children, most interventions are done by psychologists, behavioral specialists, and educators. Physicians tend to be more involved with older children related to behavioral issues. Check the autism society website for local referrals or local parents.

Ask: Ask your pediatrician. If not check with the nearest children's hospital , their child development unit.

Kennedy Institute: I would call the kennedy-krieger institute in baltimore and ask if they might have a referral source guide for various regions of the country, which they would endorse as being reliable.

SDBP.org: One way is to go to the society for developmental/behavioral pediatrics website. Another is to call your county and state medical associations or the nh board of medical examiners. Since you'll most likely need a referral from your child's pediatrician, ask him/her.Local parent advocacy groups usually know, as do school districts. Child psyciatrists also diagnose and manage children with asd's.
