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.

They might not connect with you. They won't ever speak. And I don't think these parents are given much hope. And to love someone without getting a lot of physical or verbal feedback around, like, I love you, thank you back, is very difficult. So it's the ultimate sacrifice these parents are making. And so many of them have been told, again, their child will never speak.

And somewhere along the line, most of them, people at least that we've featured, have discovered spelling to communicate, which is a method for non-speakers to communicate by pointing to letters. And that's a gross motor skill, whereas talking is a fine motor skill. So if you can't talk, it's okay if you can point.

Often these parents would see this and think, that's not my kid because my kid is still, you know, banging their head against the wall or maybe even smearing feces, just really difficult behaviors. And these parents were thinking, there's no way it's my kid. Often, like the deepest leap of hope, not wanting to have your heart broken again, these parents would try.

bring their child to learn to spell and it's often time consuming and such sacrifice and such practice and their child got there and there's a point which is called getting open on the board where you're not just answering a yes or no question or filling in a blank where you start driving the conversation yourself and when these children became open

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.

Up until now, there's nothing about it out there. And usually they would find Dr. Powell.
