书籍简介

本书通过个人经历和科学研究成果，探讨了为什么一些显然很聪明的孩子直到“正常”年龄很久之后才开始说话，这是一个痛苦而又令人困惑的谜团。作者作为这样一个孩子的父亲，自己的经历促成了五十多对类似孩子的父母的形成。这些父母在试图应对不会说话的孩子和不理解他们的机构时所经历的痛苦和沮丧是一个非凡而感人的故事。

幸运的是，其中一些孩子不仅智力正常，甚至还具有杰出的能力，尤其是在数学和计算机等高度分析的领域。这些关于晚说话的孩子和他们来自的非凡家庭的迷人故事之后，是对科学研究的探索，揭示了不同寻常的发展模式。

The painful and baffling mystery as to why some obviously bright youngsters 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 baby led to the formation of a goup of more than fifty sets of parents of similar youngsters. The anguish and frustration of these prents as they try to cope with people who do not talk and institutions that do not understand them is a remarkable and moving human story.

Fortunately, some of these youngsters turn out to have not only normal intelligence but even outstanding abilities, especially in highly analytical fields such as mathematics and computers. These fascinating stories of late-talking people and the remarkable families from which they come are followed by explorations of scientific research that throw light on unusual development patterns.
