Kids are all different. My daughter was having conversations at 18 months. Due to my daughters early chattiness we thought there was something wrong with our son when he hardly spoke at 2. Just turns out kids do everything in their own time. The boy we thought had a learning delay won't quit singing the 12 Days of Christmas now at 4.

I've seen a lot of literature and even a couple of documentaries that point out the differences (advantages, plainly) in adulthood that correspond to a comparatively late development.

There's way, way more than the stuff I've incidentally read or watched. Google around for "late development higher IQ" or something along those lines and you're more or less guaranteed to find papers on it.
