[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]MERLD parents are treated horribly on these boards by a few ASD parents. [/b]You cannot even tell success stories without these parents chiming in that they will always have trouble...which is in no way a universal truth.  They also put out so much information about MERLD. ..even some of the MERLD parents are doing this. MERLD can be a challenging diagnosis...or it can simply correct itself when a child's receptive language kicks in. I know a child who was labeled autistic and mentally retarded at age 7 because his receptive language was in the bottom 1 percent.  He ended up going to college on a scholarship and is successfully employed in a demanding job and has a wife and family.

The treatments for MERLD and ASD are not the same. Many of us have found that out the hard way. And we have every right to tell our stories.

I also know of several women who realize they have married men on the spectrum. (I live in a town full of engineers.) These marriages are now imploding because while these very smart men were able to get through enough social communication to land a wife they can no longer maintain the relationships. So th

e challenges do not end for those on the spectrum either. [/quote]

Our ASD kids are being called nightmares by (one?) MERLD parent, and who is treating whom horribly?[/quote]

One fed up MERLD parent gives you back a dose of your own medicine. And you need to be honest with yourself. No parent wants a child to have an autism diagnosis. It is considered to be one of the most challenging situations to the public at large. [/quote]

Go fuck yourself. Seriously. Not one person on this thread has made sweeping judgments about kids with MERLD and their inherent worth. But autism -- that seems to be your dumping ground of choice. Get out of the SN forum if that's your attitude toward kids with SNs.[/quote]
