Read a fb post regarding asynchronous Outlier kids (which is rather redundant, tbh).
Has there been any research comparing apples to apples--Outlier to Outlier? A hummingbird and a parrot are both birds but the parrot would be terribly asynchronous compared to a hummingbird. It is ridiculous to try to fit a parrot into a hummingbird mold.
Or, consider, if you will, comparing abdominal pain in a female to that of a
male. Yes, both human. Same digestive system. Then things get weird. "Ma'am, your testosterone levels seem to have asynchronous development compared to Bob here. And WHY do you have an upside down pear with deely boppers hanging from the top of it in your abdomen?".
Anyone with pull in research departments, get on this. The most obvious way to know if something is broken is to compare it to the same item, not 'kinda like but not really" items. Perhaps Outliers aren't broken. Perhaps they are not asynchronous. Perhaps they are exactly on time and developing exactly as they should be.
When we find Outliers who are not developing the same as other Outliers, then we will, hopefully, get enough data to identify Outliers who are at risk for various mental or emotional problems or are 2E or on the spectrum, etc.
