[quote=Anonymous]Ok, so here is where I think a reasonable take on this thread is: 1) Language disorders/delays are a real thing 2) Language disorders/delay can be a symptom of ASDs 3) Language disorders/delay can be confused with ASD by lay people 4) It is prudent to assess a child with language delays for ASD to fully rule it out since the symptoms can overlap 5) A competent assessment for ASD where a language disorder/delay might be suspected would include standardize instruments administered by a trained professional (eg ADOS) plus a multidisciplinary clinical team (eg SLP, psychologist or dev ped) 5) The supports a child with a language disorder/delay needs are likely different from the supports a child with ASD may need, although they may also overlap Does anyone disagree with this?
