[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have a diagnosis of MERLD for our child from a dev pediatrician. I am wondering if any of you, whose child has the same diagnosis, have faced what we are facing. Some preschool teachers and a psychologist have suggested that our child may have autism even though they know our child has a MERLD diagnosis. Anyone faced this? I know this topic is a sensitive one on this forum. [/quote] Yes, I've faced this with our MERLD child. People don't understand language disorders, and since the symptoms can appear similar and EVERYBODY seems to know about autism, that's the leap they make. Is it the school psychologist suggesting autism? They are total hacks. [/quote]
