Second opinion

Griffbags

Hi

Has anyone asked for a second opinion on their child and been given a second opinion even though the consultant has not seen or spoken to the child?

We asked with regards to my grandson and we have now been told that we have the second opinion but the consultant only saw and spoke to us so we are puzzled as to how they can possibly make a judgement about whether my grandson has ASD or not, based only on what we said and the reports they had from the other consultant?

Thanks. Undecided

  • Also, if your local provision isn't able to give a proper second opinion - say for example, it's a very small dept and your grandson is likely to just be seen by the same professionals again - insist on going out of area.  As Intense World says, it's important that they take a completely fresh look.
