[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid has HFA, but qualified as mixed expressive and receptive language disorder at one point. Now, while expressive and receptive are considered bottom of normal range there still are language issues. He has friends. He had friends even at the worst of it, but back in preschool it was orchestrated by parents. Now he makes friends on his own. Social skills are a work in progress-lots of improvements, but I still see major differences from NT peers. His friends are both kids with special needs and typically developing peers. I do think in addition to ST, and social skills work mainstream at school and regular camps have helped tremendously.[/quote] MERLD kids often do not fit into social skills classes as they are more for ADHD/ADD and behaviors and needs can be very different.[/quote] My child did not have behavior issues. The child with the parent who insisted their kid had MERLD did though.[/quote]
