We need to do better by autistic people who need AAC. We also have to have some empathy for the AAC users and families who appear in #TheTelepathyTapes. Most of them have little-to-no support, and lack connections to other autistic people or non-speakers.

Yet #TheTelepathyTapes ignores autistics who aren’t communicating in ways that captivate a non-autistic audience.
People shouldn’t have to perform to matter, or to get the supports they deserve for communication and well-being.

But we also have to acknowledge that some autistic people, as Julia Bascom @juststimming.bsky.social points out,” really do have intellectual disabilities and really do need exceptional support,” and that this wouldn’t change even they had access to appropriate communication. #TheTelepathyTapes 15/

It is undeniable that many current AAC users were formerly in inappropriate special educational settings (sedentary and unenriching placements that are inappropriate for any student, not for just non-speakers who use AAC).

It is, frankly, offensive that #TheTelepathyTapes portrays all non- or partially speaking autistics as capable of telepathy; a stance worryingly similar to the claims of former anti-vaccine Speller parents who insist that all autistic kids with communication disabilities are “locked inside.” 13/

In the podcast, Dickens calls autistics' abilities “telepathy.” She is not the first person to suggest that AAC users (namely people who use supported communication methods) are telepathic, by the way; people have been making such claims since the 1990s.

Since many non-autistics believe stereotypes about autistics, they assume that autistic people are disengaged and unobservant. So they think it’s a miracle when autistic people notice, absorb, anticipate, and recall what the people around them do and say.

Autistic people can be wildly sensitive to and adept at pattern matching, not to mention their tendency towards phenomenal hearing, excellent observation, elephantine memory, and keen emotional perception—whether the person is able to speak, or not. #TheTelepathyTapes #Autism #AAC 10/

If non-speaking autistic people aren’t telepathic, then what is behind the “mind reading” feats in #TheTelepathyTapes? As one autistic commenter explained, “I’m very good at reading nonverbal cues. I’m not telepathic.” This is the most plausible scenario. 9/

Successful AAC users who currently use, or started out using, supported communication exist. I have met many. They are not unicorns. They do not have supernatural talents. -SR

We must also reject The Telepathy Tapes's message that if autistic AAC users can read minds and communicate telepathically, maybe they don’t need access to the robust language-based communication that is a human right.
