[quote=Anonymous]Well this twit doesn't know what he's talking about diagnoses of "Mixed Receptive-Expressive Language Disorder, a Communication Disorder Not Otherwise Specified, and a Developmental Coordination Disorder, and an Adjustment Disorder" are not necessarily "milder" and can need as much intervention and have long term consequences as ASD. Much easier to get insurance coverage with an ASD diagnosis. Also, he's obviously not keeping up with the latest literature b/c MERLD and NOS are out of the current DSM, so his book is already out of date. I'm also sick to death of the autism stigma. A child who presents with many autistic traits when young and gets that diagnosis should get the help they need instead of parents who balk at the diagnosis.[/quote]
