For neuropsych eval I've been recommended Dr Leah dembitzer in Lakewood or Dr Malky Zacharowitz in cedarhurst. Both have wait times though

Normally a very good diagnostician would be a real need for a complex set of symptoms, but these together sound rather straightforward**. Since you’re noting the obsession with some topics (along with the other symptoms), I assume you’re familiar with Aspergers. Though now it’s all just lumped under asd, which I think makes things harder.

**I don’t mean to make light of this in any way; we have lots of diagnoses in my family, and even each one on its own is anything but simple.

I’ve heard great things about Dr. shmuel mandelman, that he’s a top diagnostician, and doesn’t do a huge battery of tests. He speaks to the parents and the child.
