The painful and baffling mystery as to why some obviously bright
children do not begin talking until long after the "normal" time is
explored in this book through personal experiences and the findings
of scientific research. The author's own experiences as the father
of such a child led to the formation of a group of more than fifty
sets of parents of similar children. The anguish and frustration of
these parents as they try to cope with children who do not talk and
institutions that do not understand them is a remarkable and moving
human story. Fortunately, some of these children turn out to have
not only normal intelligence but even outstanding abilities,
especially in highly analytical fields such as mathematics and
computers. Public figures who were late in talking include the
distinguished mathematician Julia Robinson, Nobel Prize-winning
physicist Richard Feynman and - the most famous of all - Albert
Einstein. Fascinating stories of late-talking children and the
remarkable families from which they come are followed by
explorations of recent scientific research that throws light on the
unusual development patterns of such children.
