Description
Have you heard that nonverbal severely autistic children have telepathy and other psychic powers? They don't, it's bullshit. But there's a very popular podcast called The Telepathy Tapes that makes this claim. Ky Dickens, the creator, is a lying fraud who preys upon distressed parents of severely autistic children and the gullible sector of the public that wants magic to be real. This grift goes back farther than you think, so let's elucidate some very important context and then explain exactly how Ky's grift works.
