Here are some customer reviews of Late-Talking Children : When my daughter was diagnosed as developmentally delayed I became highly distraught. I wondered daily what I had done wrong. She seemed so normal in every other aspect of development. My father saw a piece on Thomas Sowell on an evening news program where the book Late Talking Children was discussed. I purchased the book the next day and it had so many similarities to my situation that it was able to ease my fears about my daughter. Her communication skills are developing nicely today but her mental skill level has been developing at an above average rate. This book gave my family hope that my daughter is fine and only developing at her own rate. Thanks This book gives false hope to parents whose children are nonverbal due to PDD,Tourete Syndrome, SI dysfunction, Asperger systromes or children with undiagnosed Oral motor Problem. So Readers beware. This book was GREAT! A must read for parents like me with a speech delayed child. It gives you so much hope! When I started to read this book all I could do was cry. I could really relate to what the parents were going through. Many times I felt they could have been describing my son. It is a real comfort knowing your not alone. He really understands! This book is very specific in that it talks of children (mostly boys) who do not talk for a very specific reason. This is for children who do not talk because they are gifted in the areas of math, music and abstract arts. The children eventually talk with a little help from their parents and professionals. The children excel at numbers and sometimes have musical gifts. My child did not fit this specific area so it was not useful to me. Regardless it was well written, easy to understand and had plenty of examples and real life events. The author is driven by the topic and knows it well. If your child fits the specific audience, it is a must read as it has many contacts and ideas for helping this specific type of child. It is a touching and helpful book. It has little in the way of statistics or scientific research to back up its observations. Sowell takes predictable swipes at the educational establishment. Still, that said, I would recommend it to worried parents as interesting and reassuring.
