For what? I would take the child to a pediatrician and get a referral if the doctor thought it necessary. If you mean as far as a career is concerned, pediatricians do more good, psychiatrists probably make more money.

A neurologist and a psychiatrist are the best specialists to diagnose Asperger's. If a pediatrician suspects it, s/he should refer you to a neurologist who specializes in neurodevelopmental disorders, or to a psychiatrist who specializes in neurobehavioral disorders. The best scenario is when an Aspie has both a neurologist and a psychiatrist as part of his medical team, coordinated by a primary care physician / pediatrician. In adulthood, an Aspie will want the same type of doctors but move on from the pediatric level to the physicians who treat adults with developmental disabilities.
A pediatrician is a doctor for younger children. Same qualifications as a doctor but a better understanding of child health issues.
Cancel your appointments. Find a better one.
To become a psychiatrist one must first become a medical doctor.
There are options to take their child to pediatrician, and then the pediatrician would redirect them to some other doctor. That would usually be a psychiatrist. He might give some medication. Also, parents should try to have their child to have as much company as possible, and allow it to live a normal life.
A day in the life of a pediatrician starts with waking up very early and feeding his or her own children and sending them to school. Then the pediatrician goes to work to take care of many other kids and comes home to take care of their own again.
In looking for a psychiatrist or psychologist for a child I would turn to the pediatrician for a referral. In most cases, pediatricians work in conjuction with many specialists and counselors and can help you find the best one for your son.
