And in that moment, I just thought, whatever is here, this is it. This has the answer. And I think part of it, too, was my brother's eye functioning on the spectrum. And the thing that I know, just my own experience with autism, is this sense of telling the truth automatically. There's not a lot of jockeying for ego-driven purposes.
There tends to be a deep truth-telling, which is one of the most beautiful things, I think, about autism in some respects. And so I felt the messengers in this case are the most trustworthy and unassuming. So that kind of led me down this path.
I think most of my films that are self-driven, you know, there's some that are work for hire, someone just has you direct it. But the ones that I generate tend to be deeply personal, deeply specific. I'm trying to answer or heal something. But there were two films that I've made where I remember, or projects where I would actually start praying through it.
Like, if I'm going to die, just please let me get to the finish line of this because I'm intended to do this. If I don't make it, then it just feels so big. And this was one of those. There was two in my life. And the first was my first film, Fish Out of Water, and this one.
Telepathy historically is, right, reading someone's mind, you know exactly what they're thinking. So, or you could hear their thoughts as though someone was speaking it. And that's what I thought this was at first. And I thought there could be a scientific explanation around the, you know, when often a sight is muted, other senses heightened. And in this case, It feels a lot deeper.
And in fact, a lot of the parents started saying right away, this isn't just sheer telepathy. We think we might be sharing a consciousness or there's some sort of merging going on. It feels deeper and much more complex than simple mind reading. Wow.
Yeah. And I think, you know, again, it depends on the individual, but from a lot of the non-speakers I've met, I'd say the gifts can be varied. There are some parents who will say my child will know exactly what I'm doing during the day when they're at school. They'll know what I'm thinking, where I went, who I met with. And what is that? That's not telepathy. That's something bigger, right?
There's some parents who say, if I, one of my favorite stories is one of the non-speakers, once he started communicating, knew all the things there was to know about Harry Potter or different books. And the parents thought, how? And this individual said, I read them through my sister's mind when she was reading them. And so just really fascinating things.
Is that mind reading or is it like fully... And then there's been teachers who say, my students have said that they can see through my eyes or hear through my ears. And it feels as though they might be using my neurology in some way because their neurology is unreliable. It's helpful and grounding to utilize mine.
And so I'm just telling you what other people have told me and the reports are varied and wide. But something I've heard from many teachers in particular or parents is that like... Sometimes the thought will occur and it's like, well, where did that thought even generate? Which makes you wonder, like, is it coming, is consciousness coming from a different place and we're tapping into it together?
The parents and teachers who are in this world, they just have so many questions. Like, what is this? Because it does feel bigger than typical. I'm reading your mind telepathy.
Okay. So yeah, I reached out to Dr. Powell and I said, look, I'm a filmmaker. I'm very interested in what you've been uncovering. I'd love to get to know you. We did a few Zoom calls and then I flew up to meet her. And it was wonderful because one of the first things I did is I wanted to see like, what's the scope of this? And I asked if she wouldn't mind reading some emails off from parents.
And of course, you know, HIPAA law, she can't show me the names. But I saw in her inbox, like the folder of so many emails from parents. And I thought, good grief, this is like really big. And she started reading some of the emails. And of course, I think anyone walking into this has a healthy dose of skepticism. I mean, telepathy seems like a superpower in the Spider-Man movie.
It doesn't feel real. And so, but these parents, one after the other, were saying, look, I didn't believe my wife, and I tested this myself, and I'm a doctor, so I couldn't fathom this, but this is real. This is happening. And so many emails from people like that. It's not that they were baked in believing. They were coming to Dr. Powell with their own questions around, how is this possible?
Can someone answer this for me? And they were coming from all over the world. At that point, I realized that the only place these people had right now was Dr. Powell's inbox, that most of them hadn't ever met each other. And it felt like the strings weren't being tied together yet. And Dr. Powell has her own practice. She's a researcher and scientist.
It just felt like this was so much bigger than, honestly, either of us and certainly the families. And then I started meeting some of the families. Dr. Powell introduced me to a few. And I wanted to find one that she'd never met before, never tested, to test myself. So same thing, like it's hard to believe. And I wanted to not, to pick the place.
I wanted to bring my own cues, set it up, make sure that we covered anything reflective so that we could test this and see if it bears out. And it was remarkable to be in that room and see someone reading someone else's mind over and over and over again to the point within like an hour where you're like, this is not boring, but just like it became... Okay, she can do it. Cool.
Like, let's try this. Let's try this. Let's try, you know, just kept kind of pushing the envelope and this young girl Mia could read her mom's mind. Anything we showed her mom, she could tell you, you know, and then I met more families and more families and kept seeing it over and over and over again to the point where now I'm like, well, that's self-evident. And I think the parents are there too.
It's not, they're like, we don't need anyone to prove this is happening. We need to know why this is happening.
I think to me it's like the most beautiful part of the story is it's really based in love. I mean, for so many of these parents, they have children that are diagnosed with something that is often like very hope stealing in terms of the diagnosis. And I think often there's doctors telling them your child will never be cured. be competent, won't learn beyond a certain level.
