EEG is not a perfect diagnostic criteria for Autism. Autism is mostly diagnosed by behavioral patterns.
There is are a set of tests ( mentioned under DSM) for Autism which are believed to be the ideal diagnostic criteria for Autism. Your paediatrician or a developmental paediatrician or a paediatric psychiatrist can administer these tests and diagnose Autism
