[quote=Anonymous]<<I don't think it's so much that people view MERLD as an "autism light" as that there are quite a few private practitioners who give that diagnosis when there's more involved.>> This is the part of the debate i dont get. Why would a private practioner give that diagnosis if its not accurate and comprehensive? And if it is accurate and more incolvied, why not give that dx as well as others: as in merld, adhd (or asd), etc etc? The point im making is this: its been suggested repeatedly that private practioners are giving diagnosises to make parents feel better. Do people really believe thats happening? Isnt it the responsbility of the practioner to say: look, this is the deal with you kid? It just seems like an awefully big conspiracy theory to think the private practitioners hare hiding the reality...[/quote]
