Si le développement intellectuel, émotionnel, social, créatif et physique de la plupart des enfants se produit à un rythme similaire, certains enfants doués connaissent un développement asynchrone. Cela signifie que les différents aspects de leur développement peuvent ne pas se produire simultanément ou au même rythme.
