No it does not and someone is spewing "facts" about MERLD that make sense for MERLD children basically placing them with autism and social communication issues when that is not the primary issue.  MERLD and Autism are very different in nature and how children present.  Children with MERLD do not have pragmatic issues but their social skills can be impacted by language.  My child understands kindness, empathy and all the social constructs of how to act.  He also does his best to do so given his challenges.  He doesn't need pragmatic assistance or social skills classes.[/quote]

If they are THAT different, then there is no reason you can't have both.  It is like saying you can't have MERLD and diabetes.  Please go look up the definition of "comorbid."[/quote]

And don't quote that definition from DSM-IV on me. It is based on 20-year old outdated research.  Use the current definition of MERLD, now called Language Disorder in DSM-V.[/quote]
