Telepathy, anomalous experience and the relation to the autism spectrum

Objective: To define and explore the electromagnetic field theory of telepathy and its relation to the broader autism spectrum, to explore connections between various anomalous experiences and the broader autism spectrum, and to evaluate the validity of links between anomalous experiences, personality, and abuse in light of possible links to the broader autism spectrum. Method: Online studies used a questionnaire adapted to measure the broader autism phenotype as the base tool. First, a sensing presence item was added to check telepathy. Next, four personality measures relating to absorption, fantasy proneness, schizotypy, and thin boundaries were added in pairs to check the connections between items. Last, a new anomalous experience and psi questionnaire was created and checked. Results: Sensing a presence, most anomalous experiences, and most psi traits had considerable correlations to the broader autism phenotype. Sensing electromagnetic fields was the primary item contributing to sensing a presence. Conclusion: The study provides evidence that telepathy is the primary psi trait. The belief in telepathy and the ability to use telepathy are considerably more common in people with autistic traits. Anomalous experiences are also considerably more common in people with autistic traits, and many of the traits are correlated to each other. Broader autism traits generally are correlated to each other. Because of this, people must be cautious before assuming that a correlation to an autistic trait, an anomalous experience, or a psi trait is indicative of a causative link.
