Yes, and not to mention apraxia is also more closely tied to IDD than Autism, and it is not limited to just speech as he likes to imply. Its also motor skills, both fine and gross, which is why she struggles. He disguises everything under the autism umbrella.
Oh yes! Apraxia can be motor, speech or both... I have two children that have apraxia. One is motor and one is both... It is very common in children to have apraxia...
I will say though, as a parent with multiple children on the Autism Spectrum, it depends on who I am speaking to, if I will throw out all my children’s dx... Our pediatrician doesn’t even know the laundry list and just throws it all under Autism.. When I speak with our therapist, we will get more specific, in exact what diagnoses they have and some of our specialists. When I talk with other parents, we don’t talk specifics, unless someone brings it up and asks specifically though...
Also,
@SpiritofSalty I would love to hear about your opinion!!! I haven’t watch the vlog yet (I have to wait until they go to bed, due to all the honking, it drives mine crazy)...
