[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just wondering. This is a spin off from another thread, but I didn't have room to put s/o in the title. I am always surprised about how upset people get when ASD comes up. I have met quite a few parents of kids with language disorders who freely admit they and/or their doctor suspect ADHD as well and time will tell, whereas I have also met parents of kids with language disorders who go out of their way to say "my child does not have autism" when the subject hasn't even come up. Sometimes it's people I have literally just met. I never asked if your child had autism. I didn't even ask if your child has a language disorder. It's none of my business. Yes of course there are kids who have language disorders who don't have autism, but why on earth are you going out of your way to say "my child doesn't have autism." [/quote]

Yes. The first speech-language pathologist we saw flatly told us that our son has ADHD in addition to MERLD and that he needed meds for treatment to be effective. She also said that she didn't want to do therapy with him unless he was medicated We talked to our psychologist and our pediatrician who said they didn't agree.  We said "Thanks very much"  and found another SLP.  After asking around we found that the first SLP said that every kid has ADHD and recommends medication. She is a quack. [/quote]
