Her comment means that your son's speech was not as understandable as it should be in situations that were both familiar and unfamiliar to him. When it comes to Autism Spectrum Disorders and Deveopmental Delay, it's not an either/or proposition. Why? Because Autism Spectrum conditions are types of developmental disorders, but they don't necessitate mental retardation (which often, but not always, is meant by the term developmenatl delay) Suffice it to say that your son is not developing in some areas in a normal fashion. Ask the providers to try to be particular about the areas in which he is developing normally and the ways he is not developing normally.
