You are on a MERLD thread, not ASD.  You always post on MERLD threads.. that is the point.[/quote]

You are on an SN thread, not MERLD.  You always post on SN boards. That is the point.[/quote]

The topic is MERLD![/quote]

I'm the "other" ASD/ADHD parent. Yes, the topic is MERLD, but when you call our children "nightmares" who will have lifelong problems (and contrast them to your perfect angels), of course we're going to chime in to defend our children![/quote]

The poster is talking about all the issues her medicated ASD/ADHD child has... yes, it sounds like a nightmare.  And, it has nothing to do with MERLD.  You are missing the point.  The one poster keeps coming on every thread derailing the MERLD/language disorder topics with her own agenda.  I don't get why OP started this thread knowing they would do it, in less the OP is the ASD/ADHD mom.  The treatments are not the same, similar, but not.  The [b]speech therapy is very different for receptive/expressive issues vs. pragmatic[/b].  The ASD/ADHD mom is giving very poor advice in terms of a child with needs very different than hers.[/quote]

No, it's NOT.  If a kid has receptive and expressive speech delays, they are going to have trouble with pragmatics.  That's why one of the diagnoses MERLD was replaced with was Social Communication Pragmatics Disorder.

So, from  a MERLD mother to another--get this through your thick skull.[/quote]

Not all MERLD kids have issues with pragmatics.  Mine does not.  Your kid may, many may but to say all is overgeneralizing.  And, it was replaced with one of... it does not fully replace it.  You are charming, aren't you.[/quote]
