[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. So merld is no longer its own diagnosis in DSM V but was also never an autism diagnosis anyway, right? So why are we arguing about MERLD? [/quote] Because there are a few autism parents who do not believe kids can just have language disorders and belive everything is autism. They insist everyone embrace autism and call their kids autistic. [/quote] No, there are a few parents who believe their kids have MERLD and are actually autistic. You can have language disorders and be on the spectrum or not. Clinging to an outdated diagnosis is more a sign that a parent is paranoid that their kid is actually autistic but refuses to acknowledge this. The MERLD ship sailed 3 years ago and counting. No one cares if your kid is ASD; no one cares if you embrace autism or not. Just stop yammering on about the conspiracies that "everything" is ASD. You get or got that diagnosis for a reason.[/quote]
