S1.E5: The Problem with The Telepathy Tapes

from Also, Everything. · host neuropositivepodcast

In this week's episode, Phyllis critiques the wildly popular 'Telepathy Tapes' podcast. The Telepathy Tapes is a documentary-style podcast that explores the possible phenomenon of non-speaking autistic people and telepathic abilities. Despite her admiration for producer Kai Dickens' work, Phyllis finds the telepathy podcast deeply problematic, including: Lack of scientific process and real evidence Potential harm to the neurodivergent community by sensationalizing and othering autistic people Distracting from meaningful progress and understanding of how to support non-speaking autistic people and their families/caregivers Devaluing the contribution and self-advocacy of actually autistic non-speakers Links to non-speaking autistic advocates: Danny Whitty Bri Guerra Jordyn Zimmerman
