My son is 6 years old and I want to know which specialist should I see to make sure he has or hasn't any brain damage. He actually doesn't speak much.

You should take your son to his pediatrician and insist on being referred to a neurologist for testing. If brain damage is suspected, your son should be seen as soon as possible.
