Yes, I think you should be concerned about this. I would suggest that you try to meet in person with the psych. before he/she meets with your daughter and does any kind of testing or evaluation. Find out as much as you can about their background and credentials, and what tests they plan to do.

I regret having my DS11 tested a year ago by a psychologist without meeting him first. And I'm pretty sure I got a mis-diagnosis (but that's another story). I think that finding the right person to help a child as unusual as yours will require some research (and maybe some travel too).
