  Great read, thanks. The part that most astounds me is how the facilitators could be totally unaware that all of the thoughts were coming from their own heads. It just seems like it would tip you off to notice that everything the autistic person was "saying" was something you were thinking.

    This is why Ouija boards are so creepy; it's easier to attribute the behaviors to outside forces than parts of our own brain we aren't consciously aware of. It disrupts the illusion of a cohesive "self", which we kind of need.
