developmental age

I don’t believe developmental delay as it’s described necessarily a bad thing. All the milestones are actually manmade, they are not natural. I believe diversity in brain development = diversity in human development, then it’s the same with academics, standardised academics are manmade. I strongly believe people are better at subjects than the education system judges them, I think people would do better if they were allowed to learn at their own pace.

 I see standardising everything is the problem, we only believe in developmental delay because we have standardised human development, developmental delay is not part of nature, it’s made by humans. If we’re going to regard disabled people as “abnormal” it becomes necessary to define the behaviour, appearance, and achievement of “normal” people, the fact we can’t brings the issue is they any such thing as “normal development?”
