[quote=Anonymous] 22:48 here: The roots of the language disorders with MERLD and autism are different. Autism language therapy typically focuses on compliance and teaching social communication skills along with language, while MERLD children do best with back and forth matched responsive play-based therapies designed for a child with a speech disorder. Once a MERLD child's language has come in, they become fairly typical kids with only residual language weaknesses that they learn to cope with. Once a child with autism has language, it becomes more and more apparent they are autistic, and they then have to cope with the other issues that autism brings. [/quote]
