[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It it's important to point out to MERLD-mad mom that the new definition of Language Disorder that replaces MERLD does not now exclude autism. This is because when DSM-IV released in 1994 it was assumed that all language difficulties in autistic children was caused by the autism itself. Now it is believed that autistic language deficiencies are primarily social pragmatic in nature, but there is also a high comorbidity with a variety of other communication and developmental disorders such as Language Disorder, ADHD, OCD, SLDs and Tourette's Syndrome.[/quote] And, this comment has what to do with MERLD?
