Summary

For most of his life, Ryan was treated as if he couldn’t understand the world around him. Unable to speak reliably due to apraxia, he spent years in special education classrooms where his intelligence was not honored.

But his mother Mary always believed there was more inside.

At age 23, Ryan began communicating through spelling and everything changed. Finally the thoughts and insights that had been trapped inside him began to emerge: his deep spirituality, his love of music, and even experiences of shared consciousness and telepathy.

In this episode, Ryan and Mary share their remarkable journey from silence to communication, and Ryan reveals what life is really like for nonspeakers who have always been aware, listening, and waiting to be heard.

0:00.0	Hi everyone and welcome back to the Talk Tracks. Today you're going to meet Mary and Ryan.
0:04.4	Ryan has autism, is non-speaking, and also has apraxia. Like many of the families featured on
0:09.7	this show, it's been quite an adventure, and they realized that Ryan was telepathic long before
0:15.9	the telepathy tapes came out. While in the studio, Ryan and his mom requested to do some telepathy tests, so we did film some,
0:22.2	and those will be posted on the telepathy tapes YouTube page as well as on our supercast. Before
0:27.5	filming this episode, we sent Ryan a lot of questions from our listeners, and he answered many of those
0:32.4	questions over the course of a few weeks, and he'll be sharing those answers with us today in the studio.
0:38.6	He's in and out because he found our couch in the front room to be very comfortable.
0:42.3	So without further ado, we welcome Ryan and Mary to the studio.
0:49.4	Hi, everyone. I'm Kai Dickens, and I'm thrilled to welcome you to the talk tracks.
0:53.5	In this series, we'll dive deeper into the revelations, challenges, and unexpected truths from the telepathy tapes.
0:58.9	We'll feature conversations with groundbreaking researchers, thinkers, non-speakers, and experiencers,
1:04.3	who illuminate the extraordinary connections that may defy explanation today, but won't for long.
1:19.3	Why don't you introduce yourself, like who you are, who your son is, who's in your family,
1:20.3	where you live?
1:21.0	Okay.
1:25.8	So I'm Mary Heller, and I have three kids.
1:29.2	I raised them in Sebastopol on a farm. They ate off the gardens, drank raw goat milk. So we lived out on a farm. Ryan was my oldest. He's 27 now. He has two little sisters,
1:36.3	22 and about to be 22 and 24 in college. When Ryan was diagnosed, I just was one of those parents
1:43.9	who dropped everything on the planet and just was on a mission to try to help him out.
1:49.0	And it was scary back then because they would be like, if you can keep them engaged, every waking second, they might be cured by the time they're five.
1:56.1	So I would be like feeling guilty if I stopped to brush my teeth almost.
