I'm not finished listening so perhaps this was mentioned in the ep.

I have a feeling this belief that autistic kids have telepathy is rooted in the idea of "indigo children". I've not heard anyone speak of it in those terms in many years, but it could explain the popularity of the podcast.

The "indigo children" concept comes up occasionally in gender-critical conversations. I think a lot of us who witnessed the indigo children fad see a similar need for specialness in transhausen moms.

Yes! I also immediately made the connection to the indigo children. This is just a repackaging of the anxieties of having a child who is not developmentally typical.

100% It's also very New Age, which explains why Joe Rogan seems to like it

Maybe they can try augmenting these experiments with DMT! Rogan would love that.
