'''The Telepathy Tapes''' is a podcast by documentary director Ky Dickens. The podcast presents nonspeaking autistic children that are claimed to demonstrate telepathic communication and other paranormal abilities. Season 1 was released in 2024. The show has been criticized for omitting well-established scientific findings that tend to invalidate two of its central premises: (1) The existence of the paranormal is not scientifically established; and (2) The show promotes a discredited therapeutic technique called "facilitated communication" which proponents claim uncovers the communication abilities of non-verbal autistic individuals while the published evidence shows facilitators, rather than the autistic individuals, are the true authors of the messages produced. | |||
