David Gray-Hammond<p>New Article! The Facebook Group Claiming Autistic Kids Are Telepathic </p><p>The Telepathy Tapes is a podcast with an extraordinary claim: non-speaking Autistic people are telepathic.

I ALWAYS expect I will be ready ahead of time and at the very least, know where my W-2 forms are and have the free tax prep service I use ready to fire up on the desktop computer.</p><p>Reality: The "special place" I put my W-2 forms for this year is again completely a mystery. Every dang year I decide on the day they arrive by mail, "THIS year" I am putting them in such an extra special place, they will be right at hand. <br>Ha<br>Ha<br>Ha<br>Ha<br>(Who am I kidding?)</p><p>My day: 6 am to 2 pm, intensive search for those damn forms. I did manage to learn something over the years, since this is always a BIG FAT PROBLEM, I use that time to throw away paperwork and stuff I have not bothered to cull or file away. I now have my usual 5 pound bag of paperwork to recycle. And I managed to cull extra documents in 3 file boxes AND, omg, I got nice label maker labels on brand new file folders for this year 2025!</p><p>But, although this sounds great, that was a really stressful 8 hours. Taxes files and I already got verification the Federal tax submission is accepted. State of AZ may be a week yet. Direct deposit on the refunds, so $1,600 is going to be very appreciated in my account in about a week or 2.</p>
