There is something to this...and something that spy agencies, universities, and "secret" programs have tested and exploited...folks experimenting with psychedelic drugs...between mothers and their children...and even myself have experienced.
I can go on for days on this topic, but to summarize what I
think is going on here is that most of us have brains that are designed, in order to operate efficiently, to limit their synaptic connections to the most efficient pathways. This results in connections being purposefully blocked off. However, what happens when connections are not blocked off...whether it be areas of high synaptic density in the autistic brain...whether it be induced by psychedelic drugs...a form of synesthesia occurs. Most of the time the brain doesn't know what to do with all that input...the autistic being "sensory overloaded" or the person taking psychedelics having a "trip". However, what if the brain could be put into a calm state of mind and focused? In this case, their observation about the sense of peace due to being loved...the "love bubble" that they speak of in the podcast...a catalyst to trigger the phenomenon. Furthermore, given the neurodiversity within the autistic population, not everyone, even under the proper circumstances, will be able to experience this phenomenon...but obviously, there are those that for whatever variations in their brain's design, can intermittently experience, or perpetually experience this.
It is good to be skeptical...and there have been professional "mentalists" that publicly claim to understand the techniques being used...and therefore, claim that all of this is evidence that there is no such thing as telepathy although it may appear that way...trying to debunk what they have seen on video. However, the EEG signals being a non-biased and scientifically sound form of evidence...and the fact, these are kids, some of them quite young...and none of them studied professionals in mentalism techniques. Furthermore, many of the recorded phenomenon go far and away beyond that of any sort of "mentalist" techniques. They don't do it to entertain...this is how they communicate with each other and family members. All I might suggest to skeptics is that there may be ways in which an entertainer or charlatan might deceive people into believing one has "abilities"...and there is the real thing...operating on an entirely different level. Besides, governments don't spend untold millions of dollars and decades of research into something that doesn't exist.
It's very real...and being used...which has me a bit concerned for the future of some of these kids. Like many things, their abilities...and they...could be used for good...or evil. Would any of them become famous...or would they be purposefully hidden, used, and tossed aside when their usefulness is no longer needed?
Intelligence and ASD are independent, as we know, so what these "Telepathy Tapes" are demonstrating is that even some individuals...who might outwardly present with what is perceived as "profound autism"...are not only "high functioning", but having abilities that are far and away beyond the general population. One might go further into suggesting that it is a different evolutionary form...the ability to access another dimension of information...but perhaps not being able to function within the neurotypical world. Perhaps...maybe...in another 50-100 years we will look back at 2025 and just shake our heads in disbelief of our ignorance and how we interpreted some forms of autism. It may be that this form of autism...being able to access the consciousness stream...that other dimension... may be able to save humanity when the neurotypical world is torn apart by A.I., humanoid robotics, and even ourselves.
The tip of the iceberg...
