@FCisnotScience I lost my sh*t over the request for 30 day extension to debate if Ouija board works for some and changed my name to "mark to market." I'm ready to throw in the towel and launch my own spelling startup to compete against Soma if that speeds up the progress towards banning FC.
@FCisnotScience That thinking is partly backed by believing in supernatural miracles. My guess is they don't know that the miracle performers are liars, grifters, unwell, etc.
@FCisnotScience I don’t know anymore regarding how conscious. I think the ability to recognize self-cueing depends partly on the strength of belief in its preceding factors of identity and authorship. The facilitated identity that your kid will be a psychic could be genetics beyond self-control
@FCisnotScience If Manisha Lad doesn't spell conversations with her son but instead trains him to do psychic games, that's a whole another mindset from most of FC. I didn't grasp that the parent authors the identity of their child, which determines the technique and may not even relate to comm.
@FCisnotScience Yes, the most interesting one to me is joysticking Akhil. The one trick I haven’t figured out is how does the facilitator cue the client when their finger is far away from the screen, striking a button quickly from considerable distance.
@fecak@jimtemu@FCisnotScience Either way, the facilitator will misinform the parents through and through. To see the full scope of cueing, you’d need three stationary close-up camera angles (front, side, top) of the board, the script if “independent,” no cutscenes, clear audio, and full view of facilitator.
@jimtemu@FCisnotScience Ways to improve FC prompt fading: constantly shake the camera, position the camera angle from the board’s side not front or back view, use a board color that camouflages, add on louder background soundtrack, practice the script off camera more, add subtitle but loop the same clip
@jimtemu@FCisnotScience The facilitator is fading not off but away from the audience/camera view (from the client’s hand to behind their shoulder). When I do video analysis of cueing the board, I notice so many ways to improve the magic trick, the biggest one being to never stabilize the camera.
@FCisnotScience “Emotional” support is a big hit. A 20-something male could spell, “communication for all.” And the adults in the room would praise and hug him to “support,” which I found to be infantilizing and later realized was reward for compliance.
@FCisnotScience My least knowledgeable FC issue is prompt fading. “Prompt,” “cue,” etc. are implicitly banned words. My understanding was you’re supposed to move the board and not talk about it. If you do talk about it, just say you’re not moving the board, you’re helping with the apraxia.
@HelenTager@FCisnotScience The absolute state of pseudoscience to have to rush a grass root movement for 30 day extension on debating the Ouija board. May as well get ahead of the curve now and become a flat earther, or an emergent communication assistant.
4 days to respond to a 336-page plan that shapes autism policy for years is not enough. @NCSAutismOrg joins six other autism orgs asking for 90. Add your voice, too at ncsautism.org/90iacc
@FCisnotScience Pursuing a pseudoscientific endeavor requires people to step outside of boundaries that they otherwise would heed. Laws exist to curb these enthusiasm. Either ban FC or turn a blind eye.
@jimtemu@FCisnotScience The SLP-FC promoter said that the younger SLP has never “spelled” before and lacked the lived experience to speak on FC.
Thanks to rampant feel-good social media lies, I’m convinced FC will end stop until it’s legally banned.
