What do you make of Diane's study with the autistic savants? Can you see any potential flaws? How would you rate it?
The study is very interesting. I had never thought about autism being a possible means of proving telepathy. As to potential flaws and rating it, it's a little difficult to pass judgement without having access to the complete methodology and data; I guess for general consumption, a video would be useful.
I did wonder whether it's necessary to spend a lot of money on a professional video documentary. One could imagine Diane putting together a presentation including video evidence for her peers at a convention and filming that; included could be a Q&A session. I'd like to see the bulk of the money spent on doing actual experiments and recording the data.
I think one of the biggest hurdles will be convincing people that there is no unconscious cueing going on. It's a sad fact that with autistic people one may never be able to exclude all possibility of cueing. Even if the therapist doesn't touch the subject, some bright spark is going to suggest that they are subliminally mouthing the answers, which the savant can hear: one would have to control for all conceivable modes of communication.
The best thing about it is that savant abilities are already accepted as real amongst the neurophysiology and psychologist/psychiatry community. That really does seem to offer the chance of her work being taken notice of.
