That isn't the point of the thread.  Of course and ASD child can have receptive and expressive issues, BUT, it is not the point at all.  This is about MERLD, not ASD, not rants about how the outcome is very poor for MERLD kids, not the point that some MERLD kids have learning and other issues... you are missing the POINT.   [/quote]

This thread started with the simple observation that the term MERLD is found in ICD-10 and that therefore it is an official diagnosis that can be used by professionals to communicate with parents and other professionals.  I don't know why that would be controversial, but apparently it is.

We have wandered far away from that since then, so then there really is no point to thread since then.  However, you have said that the MERLD diagnosis excludes ASD and quoted an old definition to back up your point.  Under the current definition, you can have both.  You should at least acknowledge that and use the current definition, not the old one which was written in 1994.[/quote]
