Re: What neurologist would you recommend for formal ASD eval

[Guest guest]

I used to take my son to see Dr. Tuchman at Dan Marino. He does not believe in diet, biomedical treatments, etc....I heard good thing about Dr. Gadia but if you want someone who is more open to those relatively new and untested treatments, I would not recommend this center personally.

Dr. Tuchman (at DMC) is great for an ASD diagnosis. I havent used him for any other aspect of my son's care. I asked him once about diet,lab testing, biomedical approaches (about 4 years ago) and he totally blew me off. Just said to get him in school and treat him as "normally" as possible. He did recommend Melatonin which has been a blessing!!
