diagnosis guidance

Reason4aseason profile image

hello everyone, so my 6 year old was finally able to be have a diagnoses done and after all of the questionnaire he was diagnosed with both high functioning autism and adhd. After doing dcm5, Conner and all the other assessments this was what i was told. Now the dr making the diagnosis is currently in Florida and I live in Connecticut so everything has been through video call and she met once with my son and we have another call next week. I am just wondering if any other families have had their child diagnosed this way and or should I give a second thought to a second opinion. This is all very new for me and I am just looking for some feedback on whether this is something acceptable being that a in person session has not been done and everything was based on those assessments.
