{"product_id":"the-einstein-syndrome","title":"The Einstein Syndrome","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Einstein Syndrome is a follow-up to Late-Talking Children  which established Thomas Sowell as a leading spokesman on the subject of late-talking children. 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 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-90s  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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44946988204085,"sku":"ByrdShop_0465081401","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780465081400_df559cec-cebf-4205-9ac3-cee3dc8c16bf.jpg?v=1770144483","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-einstein-syndrome","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
