Anyone Else’s Child Have ASD + severe global development delay?
Hi all! Just curious to know if anyone’s child was diagnosed with the same combo?! My daughter was diagnosed with GDD at 18 months old and has been in early intervention and then preschool. So her progress has been substantial! But we just found out at the end of February that she has moderate autism PLUS a severe development delay.
She’s still speaking in a lot of jargon but does have some functional language and can communicate with us. Her school absolutely loves her and gets all of her therapies (public school). But I’m just curious to know when the jargon will stop and we can start having conversations? Or like right now, she doesn’t seem to “get” that it’s Christmas or her birthday. To her it’s just another day if that makes sense.
Just looking to hear others experiences. Thank you!!
