ABA therapist thinks DSs problems are just behavioural

So now we have a letter from private psych saying DS is highly likely to be on the autistic spectrum.

I invited a random ABA company over, who was amazing with DS. He engaged with him, made him laugh, DS was fab. Therapist was like Mr Tumble for an hour.

However, the ABA tutor said ds DOES NOT have autism and the doctors don't know what they are talking about and we should be very careful following any advice about therapies for autism. He said DSs problems were behavioural and had a sort of judgey Supernanny look on his face.

Does this sound like more of a salesman than a therapist? How would I go about getting recommendations for someone local? are there bad ABA companies about?
