developmental age

NAS75657

I was wondering when a person on the spectrum their  developmental age is described as lower than their chronological age, is this just because of them being on the spectrum or is this usually because of also having a learning or intellectual disability?

     we're developing something else when we're 3 or 4 or 5y.o., something that's not language in most cases, so please do not call us stupid or dumb just because we don't speak your language yet

    I remember very well how I was treated or what was said around me from about 4y.o., probably other autistic too, or even earlier

    I had serious head injury when 5y.o., that could have erased earlier memories

    My family and myself see a very able boy in my Son. I think he just needs the right teaching or techniques to bring this out. I do feel very upset when people suggest he will never develop or achieve much as he is developing and achieving small things all the time.
