Surviving Autism

To be able to sensibly manage your child’s problem, getting an early diagnosis is the best thing you can do however devastating it may be.

The best people to consult are developmental pediatricians, pediatric neurologist or a child psychiatrist as they have had enough training and experience in managing developmental disabilities. I know it sounds harsh but believe me this is for the benefit of your child and your sanity.

These doctors not only have sufficient knowledge but have dealt with a number of childhood disorders to make a reliable diagnosis.

However, since developmental specialist are quite few, in the Philippines only UP-PGH and PCMC train developmental physicians and you will need at least a year of waiting period to get a schedule for your child’s diagnosis and consultation.

Get an appointment as soon as you can and don’t ever delay consultation when you get one.
