Can a child have both Mental Retardation and Autism at the same time?
It sounds to me like she’s self diagnosing, next thing the kid will have ADHD because she can’t control them, from what I understand both Delayed Development and Mental Retardation are both blanket terms not actual complaints, so yes the child could be Autistic and she’s just looking into it too much or maybe the kid is just slow at picking things up. So yeah, maybe she just wants sympathy or attention, but take any ‘diagnosis’ with a pinch of salt.
