  • There are specialized centers for Autism i.e Hopital Universitaire des enfants but unfortunately they receive many demands. It is always possible to begin to assess the problem with your pediatrician

  • I think you should try to book an appointment with a paediatric neurologist. At the UZ Brussels they have English speaking neurologists for children.

  • You need to consult a neuropediatrician or a pedopsychiatrician.
    Or going to a center "reference of autism" like the SUSA but the delay is long
