[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a little tired of this. OP comes on periodically to argue that kids with ASDs don't really have ASDs because her son was misdiagnosed and really has MERLD. I don't doubt that her son was misdiagnosed and really has MERLD but I wish she wold stop her crusade against those of us with kids who really, truly have ASDs. I don't understand why she has to question our diagnosis (and she does and has) Its like telling we're stupid and don't understand.

MERLD parents, can you share information and give each other support without attacking our kids' diagnoses? Thank you.[/quote]

Agree and it's especially annoying when they attack the diagnosis of kids with Asperger's since that is the one type of ASD a kid with MERLD will NEVER be (mis)diagnosed with.  It's like they can't stand the fact that a kid can have ASD and be less impaired so they keep attacking a diagnosis that does not affect them at all.  Like a MERLD diagnosis is so much better than an ASD diagnosis, like this is a contest or something...[/quote]

Can you stop lumping all MERLD parents together with the rigid MERLD parent?  It's not "MERLD parents", it's one or two posters.  [/quote]
