Ms. Rachel broke her silence after her 13-month-old daughter's impressive speech skills caused backlash among her followers, revealing that her son was slower to master his speech. "My son had a severe speech delay and he's extremely bright and wonderful - neither one is smarter!" the YouTube personality, whose real name is Rachel Griffin Accurso, wrote in the edited caption of one of her March TikTok videos. Ms. Rachel, 43, shared that her son, Thomas, 7, "didn't really talk" until he was 3 years old.
