Hello!

It occurred to me that some of the newer parents to the group might not have yet read a lot about Asynchronous Development.

So here are a few links to get you started:

basic definition

If Gifted = Asynchronous Development, then Gifted/Special Needs = Asynchrony Squared by Lee Singer

Enjoy!
