The roots of the language disorders with MERLD and autism  are different. Autism language therapy typically focuses on compliance and teaching social communication skills along with language, while MERLD children do best with back and forth matched responsive play-based therapies designed for a child with a speech disorder.

Once a MERLD child's language has come in, they become fairly typical kids with only residual language weaknesses that they learn to cope with.   Once a child with autism has language, it becomes more and more apparent they are autistic, and they then have to cope with the other issues that autism brings.

That's not true PP.  I have a non-ASD kid with MERLD and APD too.  [/quote]

This describes my child perfectly.  As the speech is coming in, the functioning and social skills are coming very quickly.  The autism therapy was worthless as we didn't have the typical behaviors that needed addressed at home (or we were doing ok with them).  Our primary focus is on speech.  Everything else is coming naturally when it is ready as the speech progresses.

Every child is different and should be looked at in that way.  [/quote]

It may describe your child perfectly but not my non-ASD kid with MERLD and APD.  It also doesn't even come close to describing the many children I know who are on the spectrum.  I agree with PPs you definitely have many misconceptions about ASD.  It's sad that you often perpetuate them on this board.[/quote]
