[quote=Anonymous][quote]When kids start testing low average, they lose the MERLD diagnosis even though there are areas where its clear the MERLD is still there. OP, kids can look very different at 3-4 to 8-9-10+. Mine did so be very careful about getting placed in a class that is going to track him for the rest of his life. My child was severe at that age but now does fine no IEP, good grades (could use an IEP but school will not provide any supports so we gave up), very good test scores and struggles a bit but overall has learned to compensate. Its not all gloom and doom for all kids. Not all kids also have other SN. It really varies but we found the schools treat all kids - language, ASD, LD and ADHD the same and don not distinguish as well as they should.[/quote]

To this poster - can you clarify a bit more?  my child was dx with merld at age 3/4 but as he got older, developed more and more problems.  He was then dx with ADHD, general LD and now, at age 12, autism and intellectual disability.  He's so far behind in reading, math, etc.  But reading your post makes me wonder if he just wasn't given the right environment (and also if I'm not too late in helping him) and that once he was "labeled" and went down one tract, he's now set down this path.
