[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Parents of a child with language delay... Any misdiagnosed as ASD and vice versa? Is it possible my 2 year old just can't talk? [/quote] My child has severe MERLD. Most kids with MERLD are misdiagnosed with autism at young ages. It's rampant, we find on in our MERLD Facebook group. children who are just late talkers, without an actual disorder, can also be misdiagnosed. And contrary to what a PP said, MERLD is still given out as a diagnosis even though it's not the current DSM. The lack of receptive language brings on a host of issues that look like and ASD to the layperson or minimally trained "professional." I second the Camarata book, and would also add the Eides' "The Mislabeled Child" to your reading list. [/quote]
