Semantic Pragmatic Disorder / Expressive Language Disorder / Mixed Receptive-Expressive Language Disorder

Posted by Diane Woodward

Tony,
I couldn't find this specifically in the DSM IV (Diagnostic/Statistical
Manual). Under communication disorders are: Expressive Language Disorder,
Mixed Receptive-Expressive Language Disorder, Phonological Disorder,
Stuttering, and Communication Disorder NOS (not otherwise specified. I think
that Semantic Pragmatic Disorder must be speech-language pathology jargon
rather than psychiatric jargon.

>>We have three sons. The oldest is autistic, and the second suffers from
language comprehension problems, and has problems with social understanding.
From reading around, it seems that his condition is faily well described by
sematic pragmatic disorder. Is there a DSM for this condition?
