In cases where you doubt a diagnosis, you would have to get a second or third opinion.

You will have to obtain an opinion from someone of the same field and level of expertise if not more.

So in this case, if you were diagnosed by a clinical psychologist, you can look for a child clinical psychologist. If you were diagnosed by a psychiatrist, you can seek the opinion of another child psychiatrist.
