I have a 14 year-old daughter who has autism. She is on the high-functioning end of the scale (is verbal, capable of self-care, etc.). The pediatric psychiatrist we have been seeing for medication management left the area about a year ago, and we are not happy with the replacement doctor suggested by the clinic that employed our previous doctor.
Does anyone know of any doctor, pediatrician, psychiatrist, or other, who specializes in treating/managing patients with autism in the northern Utah area? I am not comfortable with the DAN (Defeat Autism Now) protocol and so prefer a more conservative medical approach.
Below are my resources for finding services and support in the US. Good luck with everything.
