I don't often watch a full Professor Dave video (they're usually pretty long) but I did watch all of that one. Autistic telepathy was so completely and utterly debunked, people trying to keep the grift going have no plausible claim about believing it themselves. They're just con artists taking advantage of desperate parents. ~~It's~~ They're disgusting.

From my AuDHD perspective it is neurotypicals that communicate with one another telepathically. π€
They basically just assume what the other person means by something, and then proceed confidently with that assumption.
Failing to consider that you could be wrong about something, could have interpreted it incorrectly or entirely missed something important, yes indeed that does make it seem like they know things they actually don't.
Its just a thing you have to get used to with neurotypicals: They're usually not intentionally trying to construct their own specific version of a social reality... they just do it by default.
Which is often aggrevating because the way this often works out is they will basically put words into peoples mouths that they didn't say, entirely invent context that did not actually exist, and also disregard extremely direct statements or invent a new meaning for them if it contradicts with their imaginary context.
So... neurotypical people are like an LLM and I just fail at prompting them?
Eh... I don't think that is quite an accurate/fair analogy.
Simply because it is dehumanizing, on the one hand, ... neurotypicals are people, they have agency, and emotions, LLMs do not...
...and also LLMs explcitly do just try to mirror or tailor their vocab / writing style to be 'correct' as per what you are saying.
They're literally built/designed to do this, as essentially extremely fancy autocomplete machines.
To me, that's actually much more like autistic masking.
The hallucinations are thus arguably more akin to the kind of panic that occurs in an autistic person when they are trying to, on the fly, merge two different social masks... they say strange or awkward things or sometimes just fail completely and essentially make up some bullshit / contradictory / nonsensical or false concept.
They also don't really actually have any real concept of ethics, as operating guidelines. They can discuss ethical theories, but they cannot really... employ them, in practice, unless you did a ton of work to try to command them to, basically.
Also, they're fundamentally incapable of real learning. They can perhaps mimic this, in a single conversation, but all that's gone with a new instance of talking to them.
Neurotypicals are obviously capable of learning.
Oh wow, I never would have expected the 'I am a Mom of an Autistic Child' people to demand that only they be allowed to speak for and have opinions about autism and autistic people.
Dave himself literally has an autistic kid.
Fuck all of these delusional narcissist aggreived white women who turn someone else's intrinsic and unalterable identity into their valor and profit machine, by way of gaslighting and promoting nonsense that serves as a bullshit worldview that rationalizes their deep seated need to infantilize people they do not care to fucking actually listen to.
I viscerally hate these people, they are quite literally hateful bigots, who just absolutely need to be the victims, because they have no real identities of their own.
Grifters gonna grift.
