Einstein Syndrome is a term coined by Thomas Sowell to describe a developmental condition. The main characteristic of Einstein Syndrome is late-talking. These children are often misdiagnosed as autistic or as having hyperlexia.[1] Many are born into highly educated families, and have superior mathematical and problem-solving skills.[2] Dr. Stephen Camarata of Vanderbilt University claims that many late-talkers with Einstein Syndrome were notoriously strong willed and noncompliant as children.[3]
Darold Treffert has written that Einstein Syndrome could be related to hyperlexia, the ability to read earlier than usual.[4][5]
