[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]. If the MERLD is something very specific, actually. In the MERLD groups I belong to, the children are resoundingly similar to each other. The ASD category, though, is a hot mess. None of us "groupies" are saying that other children don't have language issues - just that they did not fit the clinical definition of MERLD. [/quote] ASD is indeed a hot mess, but nonetheless it is possible to get a dual diagnosis even if DSM-IV says otherwise, based on the clinical judgement of a licensed healthcare provider. If the choice is between the opinion of a current professional clinician's diagnosis, and a definition created 20 years ago by people who never met my child, I'd probably go with the one who actually met my child.[/quote]
