[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe I've only gone to really good providers - which is not happenstance but research and careful selection - but no provider has ever suggested my kid with language issues has ASD. Is that an issue usually when the issues are severe? Why are you so stressed about this, OP? If it is not ASD, your kid is not going to get that diagnosis. There are other indicators. [/quote]

Same here. I posted up thread that my DD was diagnosed with MERLD and there has never been even the slightest suggestion of ASD.  Also the idea that speech therapy is "the same" for both diagnoses is silly. I should hope that speech therapy is not "the same" for any two children, ever.

Btw, to the poster who is criticizing someone and saying "you sound like you have OCD" - that's not cool either. And you clearly have no idea what OCD actually is...[/quote]

Yes, many kids with ASD get the same speech therapy techniques as those with ASD. You are right that it varies by individual, not by diagnosis. It would be silly  for a child with a lisp to get speech therapy for a child who isn't verbal. It is not silly for some kids with ASD to get the same interventions as a child with MERLD. They are neurologically practically if not actually the same.[/quote]
