[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]what actually helps people is addressing g the issues they have with therapies and interventions and supports.  Knowing the causes and being able to re categorize the spectrum does nothing for individuals with ASD.[/quote]
Bullshit. You can't provide the most effective treatments-and preventions-without understanding etiology. That's why the DSM does individuals with various disorders, including autism, such a grave disservice. The cancer community would never stand for this kind of diagnostic carelessness and disregard for etiology.[/quote]

That's a nice point, but useless at this time. We do not have the slightest idea what causes MERLD or ASDs. None. Nothing is known about etiology for either disorder.  MERLD is very like the language symptoms of autism. In the future, we may know why kids get one or the other and how they're related (or not) but you're arguing evident that doesn't currently exist.
