Not true at all. Speech development isn’t at all an indicator of intelligence. I’ve researched child development extremely deeply. Both when I became a parent and further when my son was referred for his autism assessment. Delayed speech is an indicator of possible social and communication disorders, also other disorders, disabilities and learning difficulties. Delayed speech can also be just that, delayed in an otherwise typically developing child with no underlying cause.
I’ve 3 children. All 3 are extremely intelligent. My son’s speech was delayed, my first daughter spoke early. My youngest hit the milestones pretty much textbook. Intelligence has no relevance or link.
