We had our 1st neurologist appointment today for our 8yr old son. My husband and I met with the dr for about 40 minutes discussing his social struggles and anxiety. At the end of the conversation she said he has ASD. Then our son was called in and she spoke with him for about 10 minutes. At the end of the appointment we were handed a packet with a genetic testing kit and referrals to ABA therapy, a psychologist, and a recommendation of getting an IEP at school.
Everything I read leading up to this appointment lead me to believe that he would need testing and evals that would take months to get a diagnosis.
Is a 1 visit diagnosis common?
