At 4, you need to contact the local district for testing. They will do all that for FREE. The districts are federally responsible for education-related issues after their third birthday. However, also get medical opinions from his pediatrician as well as specialists. I will say that the state of FL (at least in Orange/Osceola/Seminole area that we dealt with for Sam), is EONS beyond the state of Michigan when it comes to Early On and ECSE programs.
I've heard great things about Dr. Qureshi. We, however, saw Dr. Keely--developmental pediatrician (not impressed) and Dr. Ron Davis--pediatric neurologist (VERY impressed) in Orlando. Sam also saw a pedi neuro in Michigan.
There are online resources for the MChAT.....Granted he's not a toddler anymore, but it would give you an idea of what they are looking for and maybe cause you to think back and say "yeah, he did do that or still does do that"
As I said, I'll happily talk to you privately. Sam's diagnosis is PDD-NOS: Pervasive Developmentla Delay-Not Otherwise Specified. He's not Autistic, nor does have Aspberger's. I know what both look like, I have a biological nephew with Autism and a step-nephew with Aspberger's.

Are any of these specialists pointing out the cause and offering a cure?
If not, you need to find ones who are.

Alicia,
What do you think about Bertrand Russell's amazingly prophetic quote from 1953?
Seems he knew something most of us don't - nor do most WANT to find out.
Your children are under assault, and I'm here, unapologetically - to help sound the alarm.
Men are supposed to protect the young and innocent.
By the way, if some of you watch the following documentary and still disagree with what I have to say - well, one can lead a horse to water...............

Even if I believed vaccines caused my son's issues (which I don't) it's not helpful after the fact when looking for doctors, therapies, evaluations, etc

Alicia,
IF it can be reversed (depending on their age and whether they continue to be vaccinated) it should behoove anyone to at least investigate that possibility.
AND, at the very least, other parents should be warned so as to not have to be victimized - themselves and children. They start injecting aluminum and mercury (severe neurotoxins) into moms (which directly assaults wombs) before the baby is born with flu vaccinations. Then the Hep B vaccine is given within minutes of birth. Then the assault continues heavily with each "well baby" visit". This criminal assault on our kids needs to be exposed before we lose several generations.
Doctors who are in denial need to be avoided. They are part of the problem, not the solution.
And Alicia, don't take this personal. We are the victims, and I am just the messenger.
