Telepathic Nonverbal Autism

Will O'Brien shares a story about telepathy in nonverbal autism.

"There's this group of people that have been called crazy for like the last two decades - the teachers and parents of children with nonverbal autism. They've been convinced that their kids have been able to read their minds. Now for the first time, with teaching kids how to spell on iPads and getting researchers to study them, they're actually verifying these telepathic capabilities.

For example, a mother will go into one room and she'll be shown a random number generator, and her son Akhil in the other room will hit the exact same three numbers 100% of the time consistently in tests.

There's a podcast called 'The Telepathy Tapes' that investigates this. It fits with my belief that consciousness isn't local to the brain. I think we're more like a radio antenna. You hear stories of people whose son dies in an accident and they just know something's wrong. Every family has these stories about death or something bad happening and they just knew - they woke up in the middle of the night, couldn't sleep, and then the next day they hear about an awful accident."
