That if humans are so creative that we will find our way to get around the world and find our ways to communicate.
Yeah. Yeah. I think that is absolutely true. And I think, though, as far as, you know, individuals with apraxia go, again, like it's mind-body disconnect. Yeah. there's so many of the spellers I've met who don't know they have a body at first. They can't feel their body. They want heavy boots to know where their feet are or a heavy necklace to know where their chest is.
And I think not being in your body, not knowing you have your body, leaves you to live in this consciousness space more, right? This world of thought where we can't imagine that. We're so bound to our body. We have these dissociative boundaries where it's like, You're Joe and I'm Kai.
So I think that's what heightens a lot of this for them is just not, you know, feeling as grounded into their bodies.
I don't believe that.
Yeah. I mean, this is – I have received a question around, you know, could the government utilize these individuals? Isn't that disgusting?
Yeah. You're right. Like how will the government utilize this and manipulate it for their own gain?
And it's a fair worry. I mean, it is a fair worry. And, you know, like we try to be very protective of the families and make sure that – They're safe and that they're only out there if they want to be out there and that type of thing.
Right, exactly. But I will say, I mean, every non-speaking individual with these gifts that I've ever met won't use it for bad or nefarious means. They're interested in love. They're interested in connection. Right, right. Yeah, not.
They'll know. They can read your thoughts and they know what's up. They know what's up better than anyone, I think.
I mean, the first stage was, I think, I never had the barrier of whether or not they're in there. You know, I helped start the inclusion program in my high school and I've worked and cared for people, you know, with varying abilities my whole life. So that I knew they were in there. But I think the next thing for me was the telepathy. Yeah.
And when you see it and when you talk to enough parents who are saying, all you need to do is go see it. It's not like it's not like does it show up or like will it appear? It's like for the parents and teachers report this is happening. If you go work with a speller, you just see it. So that was pretty phenomenal. And then the first person we saw being able to do it was this girl, Mia.
And she was still in the early stages of learning to spell to communicate. So she was being touched. It often helps like first with the wrist and then here and then here and then. on the head and then off, and then there's no touch at all, right? It's just like learning that body and learning those supports to control your motor.
So Dr. Powell was like, no scientist will take this because she was being touched. And I think a lot of us in the room were like, wait, people think her mom's sending Morse code? I mean, of course, that's ridiculous. It really is. But then the next individual could do it across the room and wasn't being touched. And
you know anyone that we saw thereafter wasn't being touched so that was pretty remarkable and i don't think touch actually i think telepathy is really cool if you're being touched you know but um so telepathy was the first one and then i think the second one was uh the language stuff and a lot of parents saying you know we have no idea how but she's speaking portuguese and no one in the house speaks portuguese or people talking about you know this has been documented
Yeah, yeah, yes, yes, yes, yes, yeah. It's quite common, actually.
Non-speakers, yeah.
Well, I think nonverbal is this idea, right, like that you're not able to make like language, you know, in a way where like speaking is just like they can be verbal. They can communicate. They just can't speak it. Okay. They just can't speak it. Okay. Without the support of a communication partner like, you know, that is – the goal is to type independently.
Yeah, I mean, I think especially with apraxia, there's often a lack of body control, voice control. So there is like a beautiful soundtrack that I've come to love of non-speakers that will often be like some grunting or just lack of body control.
And actually, I think if someone sees a non-speaker out in public, one of the most loving things you can say is like, I know you can't control your body and I know that's not you. You know what I mean? Because the person in there might want to be doing X, Y, Z, but just cannot –
