Is a developmental pediatrician the only way to get a proper diagnosis for add. Im not convinced that's his problem and I'm trying to explore every Avenue to get the right dx to best help him. I don't want someone who's quick to label add, but if that really is the source of his problem, I Want to know it was diagnos ed properly.

I'd be happier with a neuropsychologist or educational psychologist or even a plain neurologist who specializes in these things - not all neuros do but some do even if they don't have other things added to their title. I don't know if most developmental pediatricians are as well-rounded, a lot of their work is little kids who are sent for autism diagnoses... I could be mistaken but that's my impression of the field.
