People considering buying this book should be aware that more than 50 studies have shown that in the vast majority of cases, the facilitated "messages" come not from the autistic person but from the facilitator. Proponents of FC have responded by claiming that any kind of scientific study destroys the "trust" necessary for FC to work, and then demonstrating this "trust" by such practices as ignoring all non-facilitated attempts at communication, and even using physical force to hold some "clients" at the keyboard. Autistic people deserve better than to be used as human Ouija boards for "normal" people's fantasies.
