[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Flat affect is usually depression not ASD. MERLD can be resolved or kids testing average or low average and at that point speech therapy is generally not recommended. I would get tested for depression, which looks different in kids than adults. Everything is not ASD. [/quote] It could very well be depression but since her child had a MERLD diagnosis, it makes sense to have a full neuropsych which evaluates for MERLD, depression, anxiety , ASD, ADHD... as well as show how her son learns and what are his strengths as well as weaknesses You are right, everything is not ASD which is why a neuropsych will be the most comprehensive in someone like OP's son.[/quote]
