We are very lucky to have had our neurologist appt moved up to THIS week. I'm beyond nervous. What did they do during your eval? I already completed a huge packet of family and health history info. Issues being looked at are speech delay and very odd vocab behavior, fatiguing easily, poor motor planning, and possible seizure/staring. When we had our PT eval the therapist was insistent we see a neuro because she feels that given distress before birth and other major delays in milestones that there is something underlying. We are going to a major children's hospital.
Any tips you have would be great!!
Re: Questions about neurologist appt
What type of dr generally dx as? I don't expect he is on spectrum but I'm open to anything. They just said it'll be an hour and a half and to bring items to keep him busy so I'm assuming no test?? I feel lost.

Notes:
Our Neuro appt was because we suspected seizures. During it, they did a small physical exam (watched walking, running, etc), checked her for reflexes and mostly talked about what was going on. I brought a video of her episode, as well as charting I had done on the events and they took a look at that. Otherwise, we were set up with EEGs, etc. She then started showing spots (signs of NF-1 or TSC), so we had more EEGs and an MRI. We are now at a wait and see place. The biggest thing they ask for now is video of any perceived seizure event, and background/history.
Good luck and let us know how it goes! I actually really like our Neuro- and the appt was a huge relief for me!
