Here's my truama-informed critique of the Telepathy Tapes podcast. In this episode, I unpack how telepathy claims about non-speaking autistic people intersect with facilitated communication, dehumanization, and inspiration-porn narratives. It highlights ethical and practical concerns around FC-style communication modalities, ideomotor effects, and the need for independent AAC access and communication safety. Listeners gain alternative, evidence-aligned explanations for “mind-reading” stories and are invited to examine internalized ableism and magical-disability tropes so they can advocate for more humanizing, autonomy-supporting AAC practices.
