The vitriol is completely puzzling.

My MERLD kid is now a young adult and a nightmare.  Am willing to do an exchange with a parent of an ASD kid.

Aside from that, agree with pragmatics issue.  My MERLD kid did not have this.  But I could discuss his upcoming Christmas presents with him playing barely five feet away and know that he wouldn't pick up on anything I was saying.  [b]That is a receptive language problem[/b].  Once he got the gift, he had no trouble at all with all the proper responses.  [/quote]

Or a hearing problem. My child with HFA has receptive delay and expressive delays that are now considered mild, but from an early age if he heard "birthday" and "present" he could hear and process it from across the room and tell you in detail what you said he was getting. He also had pragmatic issues, but was quite able to naturally express joy and gratitude when opening gifts. Pragmatic issues can be more subtle and they are multifaceted. A child with language receptive issues may or may not read non-verbal social cues well, but processing language and expressing oneself accordingly is a huge part of social interaction. If a child has more than a very mild case mized receptive and expressive delay, then there are going to be some issues.[/quote]
