Scared about tomorrow.

Yes but Einstein also had Aspergers syndrome(or at least it is believed he
did by all records available) My son has this disorder and they regularly
are late talkers with little or no social skills but they are in the guiness
levels of interlect.
My son at 2 1/2 years old has speach at age 1 but can put together a 40
piece jigsaw and can read around 30 words. It is normal for boy twins to be
behind in their speach no one really knows why but reasearch has shown that
male twins are regularly behind singleton males of the same age. The best
thing you can do is talk to your child, read books every night and encourage
the boys to tell you what the pictures are. Dont say where is the dog
because then they dont have to say anything. Rather say what can you find in
this picture?You may not get an answer but the more you do it the more they
will learn even if they dont say it they will still be taking the
information in.

Just wanted to add that Einstein didn't speak until he was 5. At that
time, his parents were told he had serious mental defects and to never
expect much from him. Guess those docs were wrong

Kids speak at their own pace, and it just takes a while sometimes. I
agree 15 months seems pretty early.

Let us know how things go

It's a myth that Einstein didn't speak until he was five, and it's also a myth
that he has been shown to have Asperger's. A few people have *speculated* that
certain eccentric geniuses of the past may have had Asperger's. There is no
particularly good evidence that Einstein did.
