Ok. "Professor Dave" debunked "The Telepathy Tapes" claim that non verbal autistic children are telepathic. So The Telepathy Tapes issued a copyright strike against Professor Dave.
Is that correct?
a copyright strike ... debunking the podcast's claims about autistic children
Eh? This doesn't make any sense. Copyright is nothing to do with correctness.
It is a tool for censorship
Knowing nothing about any of this, my assumption would be that clips from the podcast were played and then responded to in the debunking. Should be considered fair use, but webhosts tend to be very aggressive with regard to copyright claims.
There doesn't need to be a copyright violation for a takedown to be issued, especially on Youtube. It's an automated process with minimal to no consequences for abusing it, and it's shockingly frequent that it is abused to takedown videos critical of the abuser.
