"I have found The Einstein Syndrome filled with insight, acute
observations, and fertile ideas...This is an invaluable
contribution to human knowledge by one of the great minds of our
time. "--Steven Pinker, author of How the Mind Works. The Einstein
Syndrome is a follow-up to Late-Talking Children, which established
Thomas Sowell as a leading spokesman on the subject. While many
children who talk late suffer from developmental disorders or
autism, there is a certain well-defined group who are
developmentally normal or even quite bright, yet who may go past
their fourth birthday before beginning to talk. These children are
often misdiagnosed as autistic or retarded, a mistake that is
doubly hard on parents who must first worry about their apparently
handicapped children and then must see them lumped into special
classes and therapy groups where all the other children are clearly
very different. Since he first became involved in this issue in the
mid-1990s, Sowell has joined with Stephen Camarata of Vanderbilt
University, who has conducted a much broader, more rigorous study
of this phenomenon than the anecdotes reported in Late-Talking
Children. Sowell can now identify a particular syndrome, a cluster
of common symptoms and family characteristics, that differentiates
these late-talking children from others; relate this syndrome to
other syndromes; speculate about its causes; and describe how
children with this syndrome are likely to develop.
