Busca en el directorio de tu plan a pediatras especializados en desarrollo y comportamiento, psic\u00f3logos infantiles o neuropsic\u00f3logos. Si tu hijo tiene el programa Medicaid de Maryland, llama al n\u00famero de atenci\u00f3n al cliente de tu plan HealthChoice y pide a los proveedores de la red que diagnostiquen el autismo.<sup><a href=\"#ref-10\" style=\"text-decoration:underline;\">10<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cuando llames a una cl\u00ednica, algunas preguntas te ahorrar\u00e1n tiempo:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>\u00bfDiagnostica usted el autismo en ni\u00f1os de la misma edad que mi hijo?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u00bfUtiliza alguna herramienta estandarizada, como el Autismo Diagnostic Observation Schedule?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u00bfAcepta su plan de seguro o Medicaid?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u00bfCu\u00e1nto tiempo tengo que esperar y si hay una hora m\u00e1s temprana disponible, \u00bfme pueden llamar?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u00bfEl informe escrito incluir\u00e1 lo que normalmente solicitan las aseguradoras, como la observaci\u00f3n directa y la entrevista con el padre o la madre?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Si las esperas son largas, incluya el nombre de su hijo en m\u00e1s de una lista.
