You've got it - your use of the word 'geeky' already implies lack of support.

Oh - and most kids can hit a ball, kind of dance, and swim. These are pretty natural processes for most kids and the range of when it happens is in the long run not particularly significant.

My kids weren't particularly early talkers by the way, but I had no problem with learning about others, and in fact enjoyed being amazed at how different babies could be.

This really isn't a big issue with me now-a-days, I've learnt the rules, and have wonderful friends that support my family. I do think though, if this message board helps some parents deal with feelings of isolation - isn't that wonderful?
