<p>The massively popular Telepathy Tapes podcast has generated nationwide interest in the idea that severely autistic kids may also possess the ability to read minds. The series, now two seasons in, also broadly attacks materialistic science and falls prey to an assortment of wacky beliefs that Skeptical Inquirer readers are well aware of.<br /> <br /> In this episode, Jim brings his paranormal testing experience to the table with two experts in the oft-debunked field of Facilitated Communication, which our guests believe is responsible for these newly discovered superpowers. Hear what Stuart Vyse and Janyce Boynton have to say about the likelihood of telepathy existing in the autistic community.</p>
