Paediatric-Neurologists-for-Autism: Expert Care for Your Child at Cadabams CDC
If you’re searching for paediatric-neurologists-for-autism, you want answers, reassurance, and a clear plan. At Cadabams CDC, our board-certified neurologists focus solely on children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and co-occurring neurological conditions. From first consultation to long-term management, we guide parents every step of the way—using evidence-based tools, on-site diagnostics, and family-centred care.
Why Choose Our Paediatric Neurologists for Autism?
- Certified Specialists: Each neurologist is certified in neurodevelopmental disorders and holds subspecialty training in paediatric epilepsy, genetics, or sleep medicine.
- Child-First, Evidence-Based Approach: We translate complex research into practical strategies you can use at home and school.
- On-Site Labs: In-house EEG, genetic screening, and metabolic panels mean faster results and fewer hospital visits.
Understanding the Role of Neurologists in Autism
Distinguishing Neurological vs Developmental Red Flags
Autism is primarily a developmental condition, yet 30% of children with ASD also have epilepsy, sleep disorders, or motor delays. A neurologist identifies these “red flags” early so treatment starts sooner.
When to Consult a Neurologist vs Psychologist
- See a neurologist if your child has seizures, abnormal EEG, sleepwalking, or sudden loss of skills.
- See a psychologist for behavioural therapy, ABA, or social-skills training. Often, both work together.
How Neurologists Support Multidisciplinary Care
Our neurologists coordinate with psychologists, speech therapists, and special educators. Shared electronic records ensure every team member sees the same data—reducing duplicate tests and conflicting advice.
Our Diagnostic Process (Step-by-Step)
-
Initial Neurodevelopmental Screening (20 minutes)
Quick questionnaires and observation to decide whether deeper testing is needed. -
Comprehensive Neurological Exam & History (60–90 minutes)
Detailed discussion of pregnancy, birth, milestones, and family history. -
EEG, MRI, Genetic Tests if Indicated
- EEG to rule out silent seizures
- MRI for structural brain differences
- Chromosomal micro-array or whole-exome sequencing for genetic variants
-
Collaborative Feedback Session
Within 48 hours, neurologists meet parents to explain results, answer questions, and outline next steps.
Individualised Treatment & Management Plans
Seizure Monitoring & Medication Optimisation
If epilepsy is present, we start FDA-approved medications with the fewest side-effects and adjust doses every 4–6 weeks.
Co-Occurring Sleep & Motor Issue Management
Melatonin protocols, sleep-hygiene coaching, and physiotherapy for low muscle tone or toe-walking.
Coordinating ABA, OT & Speech Therapy
Weekly case conferences keep therapists updated on neurological goals, ensuring therapies reinforce each other.
Quarterly Neurological Progress Reviews
Every 3 months, we reassess:
- Seizure control
- Sleep quality
- Growth and puberty-related changes
- Medication side-effects

Success Stories: Families We’ve Helped
Case Study: Early Diagnosis at 24 Months
Ananya’s parents noticed hand-flapping and delayed speech. Our neurologist confirmed ASD with co-occurring sensory processing issues. After six months of targeted therapy and parent coaching, Ananya began using two-word phrases and sleeping through the night.
Case Study: Managing Epilepsy Alongside Autism
Rohan, age 7, had daily absence seizures that went undetected for years. A 24-hour EEG revealed frequent spike-wave discharges. Seizure control with levetiracetam plus ABA therapy improved his attention span and academic scores by 40%.
