As someone with a child diagnosed with apd and language based LDs, the thread got hijacked by an undisclosed merld mom.  Apd is only diagnosed by audiologists.  It’s not in the dsm.  It’s used as a descriptor by kids on the spectrum and with kids with learning based LDs.

Then you get a poster claiming not sticking to topic by bringing up either LDs or ASD or adhd, but that is reality.  These are linked to apd symptoms.

Jeff, you don’t understand merld or special needs.  You don’t know how to be objective.  I will happily provide you with the mountains of testing my kid has gone through, plugs medical, plus academic.

If someone insists their kid isn’t on the spectrum, doesn’t have language based LDs or adhd, but they have ‘“language issues” they belong on the merld Facebook group and not here, because we in the dissent respect the science and evidence based interventions.  We also vaccinate and understand that the brain and it’s lovely neural networks are complicated and related and there’s no shame in autism.

Language based LDs and autism and adhd have more similarities than differences.  Some of us are trying to breakthrough the bs that some people try to pull on here.[/quote]

I am not sure what you are trying to say because several of your points seem to be completely consistent with what I have been saying. But, since you think I am such a doofus and you are such an expert, I suggest that you start your own forum which will clearly be much better than this one. Whether you do that or not, if you continue to display the attitude that posters whose children have been diagnosed with specific issues don't belong here, you will probably find yourself removed before long. The "MERLD" vs "ASD" debate is the single most frustrating thing I have encountered in this forum and I am ready to be done with those on both sides of the debate since neither group seems capable of controlling themselves.
