The Telepathy Tapes (hosted by Ky Dickens) makes the false claim that, among others claims, nonverbal autistic children have telepathic abilities and that is revealed through a method called “spelling to communicate.” “Spelling to communicate” is a rebrand of the now discredited therapy method known as Facilitated Communication.

    Oh wow, I never would have expected the ‘I am a Mom of an Autistic Child’ people to demand that only they be allowed to speak for and have opinions about autism and autistic people.

    Dave himself literally has an autistic kid.

    Fuck all of these delusional narcissist aggreived white women who turn someone else’s intrinsic and unalterable identity into their valor and profit machine, by way of gaslighting and promoting nonsense that serves as a bullshit worldview that rationalizes their deep seated need to infantilize people they do not care to fucking actually listen to.

    I viscerally hate these people, they are quite literally hateful bigots, who just absolutely need to be the victims, because they have no real identities of their own.
