What to ask before booking

1. Do you look for physical causes (gut, sleep, nutrition, immune) when behavior changes?
2. Are you open to ordering labs such as ferritin, vitamin D, B12 or a GI workup?
3. How do you approach supplements alongside conventional care?
4. How much experience do you have with patients with autism at my person's age and verbal level?
5. Can you accommodate sensory needs in the office (quiet room, dim lights, first appointment of the day)?
6. Do you offer telehealth follow-ups?
