Davidson hasn�t abandoned the issue of early milestones. It is now just optional to submit ages rather than required.

As Kriston and others have stated often, I think the book is a great help to the parents of kids who do meet the early milestones, but not a reason to rule out giftedness if a child doesn�t.
