Sowell wrote a well-researched book criticizing "[[black redneck culture]]"<ref>[http://www.tsowell.com/Rednecks.htm Black Rednecks & White Liberals]</ref> in which he points out that, "some blacks resent anything that suggests anything negative about themselves."<ref>[http://www.capmag.com/article.asp?ID=4296 Black Rednecks and White Liberals: Who's a Redneck?]</ref>
==Einstein Syndrome==
'''Einstein syndrome''' is a term coined by the economist [[Thomas Sowell]] to describe exceptionally bright people who experience a delay in development of [[Speaking|speech]].<ref>{{cite journal|last1=James|first1=Ioan|title=Autism in mathematicians|journal=The Mathematical Intelligencer|date=15 November 2008|volume=25|issue=4|pages=62–65|doi=10.1007/BF02984863}}</ref> Commonalities include usually being boys, delayed speech development, highly educated parents, musically gifted families, puzzle-solving abilities, and lagging social development.<ref name= "Sowell">{{cite book | first = Thomas |authorlink=Thomas Sowell| last = Sowell | title = The Einstein Syndrome: Bright Children Who Talk Late | pages = 89–150 | publisher = Basic Books | year = 2001 | isbn = 0-465-08140-1 }}</ref> Einstein syndrome can often be misdiagnosed as [[autism]].

Sowell claimed late talkers are often inaccurately categorized as having an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and that a small subset of late talkers are actually highly intelligent children with common characteristics concentrated in music, memory, math or the sciences.<ref name= "Sowell"/>
Einstein syndrome is named after [[Albert Einstein]] whom Sowell used as his primary example.<ref name="Sowell2003"/> Sowell also included [[Edward Teller]],<ref name="Sowell2003"/> [[Srinivasa Ramanujan]],<ref name="Sowell2003"/> the mathematician [[Julia Robinson]],<ref name="Sowell2008"/> [[Richard Feynman]],<ref name="Sowell2003"/><ref name="Sowell2008">
