[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 508329, member: 11791"] I didn't know this was "new". We were told that all of the developmental disorders that don't have a specific cause (such as Downs) are very inter-related. That a kid with ADHD and LDs and Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) is really just an Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) kid who has symptoms that don't go nearly as far as an Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) diagnosis. They may not have any obvious social issues, or only mild ones, for example. But... the coordination problems in a Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) kid are the same as the coordination problems in an Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) kid. Which is why the diagnostic manual says that you can't get an official diagnosis of ADHD or Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) if you have a diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)... because all of those symptoms are covered under an Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) diagnosis. Glad to see formal studies confirming this... [/QUOTE]
