Can u reverse a diagnosis

Son is 16, he was diagnosed when he was 9 YO he is very high functioning. He thinks that the diagnosis is wrong or maybe what he needed help with like fine motor skills and social cues are now “well mastered “ He wants to challenge his diagnosis and he thinks that whatever is written is not representative of him anymore. Can we do that? He was diagnosed at Springfield Hospital Tooting, how can we get them to see him please? Any help much appreciated. It doesn’t help also that the field he wants don’t take autistic children.

  • tbh diagnosis when young is prone to be wrong as there are many others things that share the same traits and a 9 year old or younger is just too young to see everything about the person or judge. plus im pretty sure that it would be quite common for every kid to not get social ques and fit in socially then as thats when they learn those things and develope and they very well could go on to fit in well and not remain that way.
