What if consciousness is not confined to the brain? What if intelligence extends beyond language, beyond materialist science, beyond what we’ve been taught to believe?

In this episode of The Deeper Thinking Podcast, we explore one of the most controversial and mind-expanding debates in neuroscience and philosophy—the possibility that nonverbal autistic individuals may possess extraordinary cognitive abilities, including telepathic communication.

Dr. Diane Hennacy Powell, a Harvard-trained neuroscientist and psychiatrist, has spent years studying cases that defy conventional explanations. From children who demonstrate savant-like mathematical abilities to individuals who appear to access knowledge beyond sensory input, her findings challenge mainstream assumptions about intelligence, perception, and the very nature of consciousness.

But why does mainstream science resist these possibilities? How do entrenched philosophical biases, methodological constraints, and institutional skepticism shape what is considered ‘real’ science? And what would it mean if Powell’s findings are true?

If even a fraction of these claims hold, then our understanding of cognition and communication must be radically rethought.
