My nephew is autistic. My sister has been a huge wilderness camper her whole life so high possibility of exposure. We didn't know about Lyme till recently when my daughter was diagnosed. Now reading about connection between Lymn and autism and want to see if this is cause or contributing to her sons autism.
Know any good LLMDs near Seattle? Or nearest? She mainly wants to get the testing done, so even a regular doc who will order the test will work at this point.
Thanks - Dara

Dr. K and Dr. D (ND) are both in the surrounding Seattle area and both have experience with Lyme and Autism. You can get in to see Dr. D sooner than Dr. K. They both will do more in the area of alternative treatment and natural products than most LLMDs.
I have not seen either one of these doctors; however I am cosidering it. I have researched them quite a bit.

i second the recommendation for dr. k or anyone related to his practice. you won't find anyone more knowledgeable about lyme and autism. i see his nurse (A.R.); pm me if you'd like more info.

I have seen Dr. D in Seattle, she is VERY good and can get you the tests you need for your nephew. She worked with Dr. K for years.
