Is your child really speaking through someone else—or are you being misled? Today, we tackle the hot-button issue of facilitated communication (FC) and the explosion of pseudoscience in the autism world, especially after the viral success of The Telepathy Tapes podcast. Joining us is Dr. Katharine Beals—autism expert, linguist, and mother to an autistic child—who helps us cut through the noise. Learn what FC really is, why it's so controversial, and how to protect your family from misinformation disguised as progress. This is a must-listen for any parent trying to separate evidence-based practice from viral hype.
