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.

    Eh? This doesn’t make any sense. Copyright is nothing to do with correctness.

      Knowing nothing about any of this, my assumption would be that clips from the podcast were played and then responded to in the debunking. Should be considered fair use, but webhosts tend to be very aggressive with regard to copyright claims.
