What if nonverbal autistic individuals have been communicating all along—just not in the way we’ve been trained to see? In this deeply personal and eye-opening blog, speech-language pathologist Meghan Gallardo shares her emotional reaction to The Telepathy Tapes podcast, her own forgotten case of unexpected communication, and what it means for the future of autism support. She weaves together nearly 20 years of clinical experience with her lifelong spiritual practice to explore intuitive connection, trauma-informed therapy, and the powerful concept of presumed competence. Perfect for parents, professionals, and seekers ready to move beyond outdated models and listen with the heart.
