@jcrook I'm not familiar with the number of studies available, sorry. I like to use both my son's actual and adjusted age when measuring milestones. As long as he's somewhere within the wide range of normal, then I feel comfortable knowing that intervention isn't needed. They're definitely...

@jcrook I think people are just trying to be supportive or encouraging the best way they know how. I wouldn't fault someone for asking about my child catching up, but I can understand your frustration. I do think your last statement is arguing semantics. Did they "catch up" or are they just...
