How likely is it that an ASD diagnostician can spot other ailments?

Are they just trained to spot ASD and nothing else?

Are they likely to be able to tell what you have alongside ASD or instead of ASD?

Or is it a case of seeing several diagnosticians if you have multiple ailments so a complete Dx make take a long time if you have several disorders.

Like all kinds of diagnosticians, those who diagnose ASD do best in that realm. There are many older and experienced diagnosticians of all kinds who end up learning more about other disorders ... and maybe a little first-aid.
