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.

A must read for any parent of a late-talker....
By s.b
This book (as well as the majority of comments here) have brought me so much relief. My 3 ½ year old son has a speech delay as well as sensory issues. He also possesses many of the intellectual gifts that are described in The Einstein Syndrome. After almost two years of fighting to keep him from being labeled with a condition that I know he doesn’t have, I am so happy to find that we are not alone. Believe me, I know how it feels to be treated like you are in denial by people who have limited contact with your child, but see the “signs” of autism. This book not only reflects some of the issues that my son has been facing, but also some of the obstacles that our family has faced in getting him proper treatment.
Contrary to what some commenters think, Sowell is not suggesting that parents "wait and see" in hopes that their child will grow out of his/her speech problems. Rather, he advises parents to get their child evaluated by quality professionals and not to jump to conclusions as to why their child is a late talker. He also warns against some of the incompetent and arrogant “professionals” you may encounter while seeking help (which was exactly what we found). I wish that I had read this book before we decided to try our state’s Early Intervention program last year. The speech therapist who was assigned to us was throwing out possible diagnoses for my son after our second visit (which of course caused us some major anxiety). She was constantly pressuring us to get more evaluations done so that we could get more free services. Had I read this book prior to starting EI I wouldn’t have given into the pressure of continuing with the program even though my son was obviously so unhappy. My son really disliked her and refused to look at her (let alone say a word in front of her) for the six weeks that we did therapy. The program ended when my son turned 3 and I decided that our family needed a break from obsessing over his speech issues. It was the best thing we could have done. We took the time to research the right help for him. We found an amazing therapeutic pre-school and he is doing remarkably well there. Even though he doesn’t speak much yet he has become quite the social butterfly. He looks forward to school every day and his confidence is booming. His vocabulary is constantly growing too.
If your child is struggling with any developmental delay please do your research and get them good-quality help. Don’t let some glorified social worker scare you into thinking that waiting for the right help will set your child back forever. There has never been any doubt in my mind that my son will grow out of his issues in time, but in the meantime finding the right therapy for him has made things so much easier for our whole family. He's so much happier now and that's all that matters.

Children Who Are Seen But Not Heard
By Wanda B. Red
Some 10-15% of children are "late talkers." There are a variety of reasons for and presentations of late talking, most common among boys. Some toddlers do not speak at all, some do not practice talking by babbling while others simply have a smaller than average vocabulary. Some seem to understand language spoken to them, while being uninterested in speaking. Others present with receptive as well as expressive language delays. Some are months behind, others years. For some babies additional medical problems or developmental delays point to other deeper issues; these can include autism or cerbral palsy. It is not surprising that parents of late talking children feel severe anxiety and confusion.
Google "late talkers," and you will find many well-meaning but undeniably self-interested organizations that appeal to the vulnerability of these families. You will find vitamins being advertised, special DVD programs, books, and several organizations that offer early-intervention speech therapy.
Thomas Sowell brings to this confusing picture the independence of mind and analytical insight that have made him a controversial but leading economist and conservative intellectual. He is no stranger to controversy, so I'm sure that he is unfazed by criticism of this book, of which there is much. He is also the father of a late-talking son--now an adult and a computer programmer.
Sowell is not hawking any specific treatment for late talkers, not does he claim that his perspective applies to every late-talking child. He describes a specific group of children whose late talking seems to be related to other characteristics, including musical ability, good memory, and puzzle-solving skill, often with family members who have similar abilities. Working with a researcher at Vanderbilt University, Sowell has collected a significant amount of evidence regarding this type of late-speaking child, which he presents in this engaging book in his usual straightforward and readable style. He does not discourage parents of late-talking children from seeking capable intervention (his own son John saw a speech therapist), nor does he claim that all late-talkers are in the Einstein syndrome. He merely adds to our knowledge of the range of types of late talking. This infusion of knowledge and common sense is comforting to many parents.
Sowell also has a suggestive theory about the neurophysiological basis of late talking. Highly simplified, it is that as the brain applies its resources in one area, it invests fewer resources in others. His comparisons of the Einstein syndrome with other syndromes (like Williams syndrome) provide interesting support for this idea.
Of course, those with another method to sell--or whose experience does not line up with Sowell's--will criticize this book. But their attacks are basically irrelevant because Sowell is talking only about a specific group of children, and for the families of those children, his work on this topic is vaulable. I don't like the title "The Einstein Syndrome," because (while Einstein, a late talker, was perhaps one example of this syndrome) Einstein was a highly unusual person and is a kind of historical celebrity. Even the late talkers that Sowell discusses are not going to grow up to be Einsteins, and I think the title appeals to the vanity of parents. But these are parents who need a little comfort, and there is no doubt that a catchy title sells.

Helpful if you have a late-talking child
By Faith Williams
Sowell gives many examples of late talking children who do start at 4 or 5 or later, and end up fine. For these children there appear to be parts of the brain that will make them excellent at math and science (and sometimes music) that are taking a while to develop, and that may be slowing down the parts of brain which develop speech.
