Best answer:
Answer by Kim
It would depend on which one was worse. Both of those can happen in degrees ranging from mild to severe. When you have a dual diagnosis, you treat both symptoms. you dont precedence one over the other.Would treat the retardation and ignore the autism? Would you develop a program for autism and ignore retardation. Treat them both!
