@JohnBealCasual @Mr_Big_Guy_ @maniaUFO Here’s the most recent flawed study.

@Mr_Big_Guy_ @maniaUFO Lots of studies were done. Lots of people in lab coats believe it works. Lots of documentation exists for it. Nevertheless, it’s all bullshit. The methodology was horribly flawed. So much so that it’s one big joke.

Well... good for the aliens... go aliens😀😂🤪😜

@ThisIsZoro @TelepathyTapes If you lived in the 17th century you would’ve believed in alchemy because Newton said so.

@InteligntHodler @TelepathyTapes Huh? We literally exist in the quantum field that permeates the electromagnetic and gravitational field. Meditation is free. Physics books nowadays are cheap. And he is literally one of the founding fathers of Silicon Valley, he doesn’t need your $10

Physicist and inventor of the microprocessor, Federico Faggin, explains how everyone is capable of telepathy because we all have access to the state of the quantum field✨ Learn more from this episode out now!

@Layfield @heidieatsalot @songjunkr @TelepathyTapes One technical difference between Sharon and Cara/Melissa is that Cara/Melissa don’t facilitate with a letter board. They don’t engage directly with ideomotor movements and instead simply channel. If you believe in channeling aliens, plants, black holes, etc., then good luck.

@Layfield @heidieatsalot @songjunkr @TelepathyTapes You’ve fell for the pseudoscience called facilitated communication. The real author of all messages ostensibly from Noah/Adriana is either Sharon, Cara, or Melissa. youtu.be/OMn_sDCFAuI?si…

Dear Linda and others, Here are some links of studies from 1993 to 2025 and a couple of recent articles. (I didn't include any Dutch articles, to protect the privacy of named individuals in there.) British Psychological Society 2025 bps.org.uk/psychologist/j… list of studies on facilitated communication facilitatedcommunication.org/systematic-rev… National Library of Medicine pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8226584/ Playlist FC-studies on YT youtube.com/watch?v=7IJcmG…

This is my video that recently went viral. I cover the euthanasia situation in the Netherlands. For people under 30, it mostly targets autistic people (75%) and women (74%).

@FCisnotScience Message passing test is like James Randi’s One Million Dollar Paranormal Challenge. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_Milli…

Yes, they have all kinds of excuses for hiding the fact that FC/S2C/RPM only work when the facilitator controls letter selection. If this wasn't true, they'd voluntarily participate in the testing.

@FCisnotScience Is Dr. Prizant in a position to influence decision-makers? I don’t know how policies are actually made. I assume ASHA and other professional orgs’ stance against FC guides the decision-making in schools, healthcare providers, insurance, courts, etc. Maybe few ignore the guidance?

Empty Reviews are not context free: implications for RPM/S2C (Guest post by Dr. Ralf Schlosser) facilitatedcommunication.org/blog/empty-rev…

@FCisnotScience I wish Anna calls Derrick D-man instead of The-man. The D in DMAN stands for Derrick.

Reliably controlled testing should be mandatory for all facilitators, not just those with extreme psychological issues (e.g., Gigi Jordan or Anna Stubblefield). Facilitator cueing/control over letter selection isn't contingent on financial gain or attention-seeking behaviors.

@FCisnotScience “Presuming competence is the least dangerous assumption”

All rallying calls fell apart: "There's no way every mom's lying" "I saw it with my own eyes" "Dr. [authority figure] said [technobabble]" "Communication is a human right" "Evil ASHA makes money by suppressing letter boards" "They're just haters" "I don't have to prove anything to anyone"

Back and Forth With Barry Prizant facilitatedcommunication.org/blog/back-and-…

@ChristianityOn @Etanarachel Good point that anyone can be trained to utilize TSL but not FC. If you can’t presume competence, then you can’t hypnotize yourself into automatic writing, which is what being an “open speller” (technically open facilitator) means.

@ChristianityOn @Etanarachel In poorly designed message passing tests where the stimulus is a written word or phrase, a third possible outcome is that the facilitatee memorizes the sequence of letters by rote and repeats without literary comprehension, thus “passing.”

New podcast episode just dropped! In it @Etanarachel and I discuss how Woody Brown (a man with ASD 3) did not actually write his debut novel. We also talk about facilitated communication, why it is obviously fake, and why autism self-advocates keep falling for it.

@spearson1961_p @CatherineFairb1 @draevans Telepathy doesn’t exist. Ideomotor phenomenon in the form of Ouija board, automatic writing, facilitated communication (FC), etc. does exist. People mistake failed message passing test in the context of FC for supposed telepathy.

I had a doctor at the emergency room recommend the podcast. He said it changed his entire way of thinking about Autism. I started listening to the podcast. But haven’t been able to get back to it. Do I think telepathy exists? Absolutely, see my pinned photo of my grandson and the stingray. They connected and it was very obvious. Even other people around us noticed them. But telepathy between people I think is much harder. Still deciding about that.

Autism through a family’s perspective: Hospitalization It was just 6 days ago that we watched my grandson celebrate Easter. Due to his profound Autism and the ability to elope; his egg hunt was in our safely secured backyard. We are fortunate to have a spacious and beautiful backyard too. So it was quite an enjoyable event. But since then… We watched my grandson spiral downward. At first the normal signs of springtime pollen allergies. So common and treatable. But for a child like my grandson, his sensory perception is particularly enhanced when it comes to taste and texture. His automatic reactions to gagging and vomiting certain foods and all medications has always been a big challenge. Our best form of getting vitamins and medications in him has been through grinding up tablet form and dissolving in warm tea, then poured over ice. That only works when he is also eating. But 3 days ago he stopped eating. When that happens, it’s only a matter of time before existing symptoms worsen. Because if we can’t get medication in him then we can’t treat his symptoms. He was hospitalized yesterday. Tests finally back. Strep throat! When a child is nonverbal…How do they tell you what area of their body hurts? It wasn’t until yesterday that his difficulty to swallow had become prominent enough to notice. Thus the order of the strep throat test. Now…it’s IV for dehydration and antibiotics for infection. Because, he can’t eat or drink anything. These are just one of many challenges that children, adults and families of profound Autism face.

@endearingcharms @kelduck If the person holding the board doesn’t know the answer, then Sean doesn’t know either. Look up facilitated communication and failed message passing test.

@kelduck Yes! Like, how does he compute all that so quickly on his own? Truly awesome!

Thought I’d share a clip of Sean doing some math. Keep in mind that he’s never attended a single math class in his life. Spelling to Communicate continues to open doors for Sean and our family. #S2C #nonspeaker #autism #apraxia

@kelduck Sean over many years is being trained to poke at specific letter or number that the person holding the board is unintentionally cueing for, not acquiring literacy or math skills. The difference between this and puppeteering is that a puppeteer intentionally manipulates.

@debeehr @dilanesper Yup. Here’s a “telepath” Nina Meehan featured on the viral Telepathy Tapes podcast who “communes telepathically with plants since in utero,” facilitated by her sister Natalia who’s a clinical herbalist. floweringfutures.com/team

@dilanesper His mother apparently has a degree in English and worked as a story analyst in Hollywood for years. Whaddaya know, it turns out her son is a novelist too as opposed to, say, a great engineer, physicist or mathematician.

A quick thread on something that's low stakes, but it's an interesting story to me because it involves woo. It concerns a classic "feel good" media story about a man named Woody Brown, a severely mentally disabled man who supposedly graduated from college and wrote a book.

@theashleyray You may also be interested in the Telepathy Tapes (facilitated communication) podcast. It was #1 on Spotify last year.

very interested in this

@dilanesper If Woody gets a new facilitator, that person must read his mom’s book and writings or else Woody’s facilitated persona will be different from before.

@dilanesper Reluctance to gatekeep disability is exactly it. Authors, not publishers, are responsible for fact-checking nonfiction books, and colleges don't want the hassle of a lawsuit for denying accommodations. x.com/FCisnotScience…

@DrJerroldCoe I wonder if Katie invented the "Talk on the Hill" subconsciously based on the biblical symbolism of mountains and hills.

So many of the anecdotes on the Telepathy Tapes become less mystifying when you learn the full background: x.com/InteligntHodle…

@Areness_ @martagv3 @PaulRidley5 Diane Hennacy, Julia Mossbridge, and other "researchers" of the podcast are credulous parapsychologists who don't know that facilitators cue out the message by moving the board. Delusional enthusiasts from all walks of life prefer confirmation bias over rational skepticism.

The telepathy tapes is a documentary series with a professional researcher on childern just like your son. “Severe, non verbal and disabled” neurodivergents. Who show that these kids have PROFOUND inner experiences. In one of the first episodes a woman talks about getting to communicate with her son for the first time in 20 years. YOU have a difficult time as his caretaker and YOU want the world and professionals and other autistics to support him. To help YOU. Otherwise you would expore every opportunity for him to be the best he is able to be. And the world will support that. My experience is a parent who tries to condemn my differences to the world they have condemned themselves to, too, so I be knowing. But you do you, boo.

If an autistic person tells you something is bothering them, you don't get to decide if it is
