Gamanit, according to that viewpoint, the developmental delay would simply be synonymous with “developing at a different rate”. Making it pathological is just a matter of semantics – i.e. where on the curve do you draw a line and say, “this is a disorder that needs medication”. There might be a benefit in doing that, just to set a guideline that can be calibrated to help the most people the most often with the lowest incidence of negative effects, but OTOH, there might be a benefit to doing it case by case.
