[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^Now you've done it. MERLD mom will now say that when the kid's speech comes in, the a MERLD kid will be NT. The catch is that not all MERLD kid's speech "comes in" then it's a good bet that there is something more going on than just MERLD. If your kid is 10+ yrs old and still has MERLD, it's probably a good idea to see exactly what is going on.[/quote] My kid is 12 and still has severe MERLD -- as well as other additional diagnosis that complicates things for him academically. He's still not autistic, though. [b]Why do you so desperately want MERLD children to be autistic? Is it because it makes your situation not appear so hopeless?[/b][/quote] Why do you stigmatize kids with ASDs as hopeless? Kids with MERLD don't have good outcomes. Most kids with MERLD have worse outcomes than kids with HFA or Asperger's. http://www.medmerits.com/index.php/article/developmental_language_disorder/P10 [/quote]
