Re: The genetics behind specific language impairment

December 1, 2008

Thanks for posting this. Here's the abstract.

This is what some believe is the " Einstein syndrome " , a self-

resolving language impairment of early childhood that is " thought by

some " to come with hyperfocus, high IQ, tantrums and reduced

sociability. The sociability and tantrums are also supposed to

resolve.

I have no idea what to make of it. It's possible it exists; it's

possible Einstein had it and it's possible that it can sometimes be

confused with autism. I only know that there are thousands and

thousands of families of kids with language delays and spectrum

symptoms out there hoping this explains their children's issues,

though the rarity of the condition would make it impossible that

they're all right. I think the ND base their notions of " evolved

brains " on research of the condition, except that those who promote

the condition violently deny that it relates to autism. It's what

a " national expert " thought my daughter had-- though she ended up

with the similar labs to her twin brother, who regressed into PDD.

She's recovering much faster than her brother in any case.

I wouldn't be surprised if those with these genes-- assuming they're

even relavent-- are more susceptible to vaccine toxins.

Then again, it could just be " poisoning lite " . Just enough toxins to

rewire the brain in a way that can often resolve. The historical

figures who were speculated to have had SLI were supposedly two of

the Manhattan Project scientists, Mussolini, Einstein and a few

famous musicians-- all mostly born in the same era. Einstein had life-

long mild echolalia, stomach disorders and such extremely sweaty feet

that the Swiss army rejected him, so go figure.
