Hello Dr. Sanghania,
My son siraj, who is 2 years and 9 months old, is recently diagnosed to be autistic (3 months back). and i recently took the appointment from your assistant for 13th November. i will be bringing my son for consultation and diagnosis. but for now i want to ask that do you have the facility or do you test a child clinically too with reference to autism or any disorder? and also do you have any neurologist?
while concluding, i must say that great work is being done and also that your clinic is a ray of hope for the parents of children having these disorders.
keep it up!
cheers,
Sarah
