My daughter was originally DX'd with MERLD. She got the ASD later. It happens but I don't know how often..

I believe every person has talents and challenges! I hope for lots of support for her successes!

I know a mom whose daughter was initially diagnosed with SPD at 2 yrs. old & then later got the Autism diagnosis at 5. She is still your same little girl, try not to stress about the future.

It depends from case to case but I don't think it does. Good luck!
