[quote=Anonymous]Oh man, This happens every time. To the MERLDy parent. You don't need to convince anyone. Your child's diagnosis is between you and your kids IEP team. Some professionals feel that MERLD is really just another diagnosis people use for ASD, some don't. Some think ASD and ADHD are on the same spectrum and some don't. As someone who has actually been a teacher I will tell you we focus on the child's individual needs and to be honest there were kids with MERLD who could easily have been diagnosed with ASD and vice versa as per the school psychologist. We didn't care about the label or mention to the parent. We simply focused on each child's specific needs. The label is a map, not the territory and the MERLD map and ASD often have a lot in common.[/quote]
