If your pediatrician shares your concerns, you may be referred on to a specialist for further questioning, examining, and testing. You'll want to do that immediately, but the specialist's schedule may not cooperate; months-long waits are not uncommon. Fill the time by doing some research about your own and your pediatrician's suspicions. You may have done a little research before, but now instead of looking for general possibilities, you'll want to look into the specific diagnosis or diagnoses being investigated. This flurry of fact-digging has two good effects: It makes you more prepared to speak to the specialist, and it passes all that interminable time.
