^People who *claim* they are such things exist, but there is next to no evidence that they actually are, nearly all such people are con artists, and the the whole thing is a bunch of pseudoscience.

Claiming autistic kids have supernatural powers as if they're aliens or magical beings is just ridiculous. They're human like everyone else.

You seem to be operating under the assumption that this isn't a topic that's ever interested me or that I haven't researched it before.

I really wish telepathy is true, regardless of how it might be real or not.

All because I hate words and wording.
Because of how language itself is unnatural to me; to speak, to read, to write, to listen...

I imagine telepathy's medium as some sort of abstract thoughts and emotions before it's translated into words and pictures, than the commonly thought language and imagery alone.

The interpretation into language and pictures itself won't be a direct translation from the person thinking, but how the other person might interpret and translate it with odds that may or may not be right relatively; more like a paraphrasing than a verbatim.

I will draw on Fenn's posts on what makes for constructive threads.

I find the starting point which is best for me id "Extra-ordinary claims need Extra-ordinary evidence to support them"

It is also helpful to explore all possible ways which could create the condition which is observed or claimed. And attempts to repeat are not wasted time.

Now I do recall much discussion here and elsewhere on how empathy is experienced. I recall many report to tuning in acutely, feeling almost what the other is feeling. Reading the feeling of a group, or not.

I also note the level of detail focus so many of us report, and ability to detect patterns.

My mother reported often somehow knowing when I was upset even when we were apart. I do wonder if my mother had spotted my daily up and down cycles and the subconscious pattern matching was at play rather than somehow me broadcasting some signal which was received by mum. Mum had probably also filed away in her great Music and Maths brain all the sorts of things which could stress me. Sadly without the services of Dr Who to do an observational study it's past the time to get the evidence, extraordinary or otherwise.

One also wonders in the reports through so many cultures and times around such things as clairvoyance and prophecy, how much may have been that autistic pattern matching system over times combined with really sensitive "Threat Pattern" detection, that fast subconscious part of the brain mind system which kept us and other animals (and not just mamals) surviving through evolutionary timescale, which sets of the anxiety systems before the conscious brain even starts processing. One thinks perhaps those who foresaw bad stuff in the future had that system noticing and putting patterns together years before the thing those conditions led to actually happened.

All interesting stuff to ponder.

Humour on : and the pedant in me observes that Telepathy is two Greek words meeting distance feeling and Clairvoyance is from French meaning clear seeing.
