The obvious approach is to say exactly what you wrote: that you believe your son may be having neurological inflammation because of an autoimmune response based on a list of symptoms that you have documented. Then see what tests he suggests and allow him to make the diagnosis. Remember that there is an art and science to using the terminology that will ensure that your child gets the treatment needed that will also be covered by insurance. I was careful to allow each doctor to use "PANDAS" before I did. If they did not, then I didn't either. After all, a bruise is also called a contusion ;-).
