"An interesting observation that comes of comparing notes with other parents is that most professionals have preferred opinions that they tend to apply to most of the kids that they see. One person gives out PDD-NOS diagnoses, another gives out Asperger's. One person sees anger issues, another sees ADHD. In some ways, the professionals are easier to classify than the kids."I completely get where this is coming from and I'm curious to se if other people have had this experience too.

Funnily enough this is addressed in an episode of House: a Neurologist will always look for a neurological problem, an immune specialist for allergies and auto immune problems. It depends so much on what the medical staff is specialised on. a second opinion is always a good call, not because of distrust, but because it ads a different diagnostic shade to the picture.
