    Have you considered the limits of their training and licensure? Psychologists, for example, aren't medical doctors, so they can't diagnose physical or drug-induced disorders.

    There is a specialty called Neuropsychiatry; basically it deals with "mental disorders" (not my choice of words) that have a neurological component. (N.B. The official stance is that the brain and mind are not separate entities but are integrated. While that might be obvious to some, it's unlike psychiatry, which takes a dualistic approach: think Freud.) They may be harder to find, though.

The best practices regarding neurodevelopmental issues are inter and transdisciplinary, consider this example.

The pediatrician is usually the first practitioner to see the patient, he should suspect and make a screening test, a psychologist might then perform a diagnostic evaluation.

People with ASD have increased risk of epilepsy so an EEG might then be performed and interpreted by a neurologist.

If it's comorbid or otherwise a complex case, a psychiatrist might then come into action.

Many people with neurodevelopmental disorders will have some form of motor difficulties so a physiatrist might be called.

In short, there are many professionals that can and should be involved in the evaluation and management. There is no one "jack of all trades" practitioner for developmental disorders.
