Pretty soon thereafter, they started saying things about being able to read minds or knowing what their parent is thinking. And of course, when you first hear that, there's kind of that like, oh, wait, what, really? And what happened in most of these cases is the parents would do some tests and do their own experiments and then end up with a ton of questions. Search about this on the internet.

No, but I think what a lot of parents believe, and I think teachers too, is that most of the non-speakers that we're featuring have apraxia, which is where your mind and body are not connected. So if you have apraxia and can't control your behaviors, that doesn't get you very far. Because that's a big thing I want people to take away is like, this is not about autism.

I never talk about it as being about autism. It's about apraxia and not being connected to your body.

That's the... That's the thing that's missing. And in fact, a lot of parents are like, I don't think my kid has autism. We have this big wide tent of how we diagnose this. And people will say it's autism. But no, it's apraxia. And that's the mind-body disconnect. So a lot of it is like the diagnosis could be totally wrong too.

And that's when I realized, okay, this isn't just like a telepathy thing. This isn't about a biological heightened sense. It felt to me, and this is where I... I landed is that this is a spiritual gift and there's a bouquet of them that for some reason the non-speaking individuals with apraxia, the mind-body disconnect, seem easier to tap into.

Then during COVID, they had to self-teach their children at home. And then they were shocked at how much their kid knew. But no one ever spent the time to, because a lot of the teachers might not have thought these people are in there either. So COVID was a huge motivator for a lot of these changes where parents saw my kid is in there and they can smell.

For sure. I mean, we've had—our inbox has been the most delightfully joyful thing because so many of the emails we're getting are people being like, I did not ever think my child could spell. I didn't think they were in there. And then I heard these other stories of parents who felt the same way, and now I'm getting my child to spell. But the best ones are—I mean, they're not the best ones.

They're all the best. But another really fun thing that we're getting are videos from parents saying— My child is spelling. I never thought in a million years they were telepathic. So then I started doing tests. And we tested with four numbers. And here's the video. They could do it. And here's nine numbers. And they could do it. And here's 22 numbers. And they could do it.
