Sparteye - thank you for this thread.
When I saw length of the link I nearly did not read it but once started I was fascinated and read all.
What follows in blue I found a wonderous description of friendship and autism :

To wash the inside of the bay window, I had to crawl through the sliding door. The door jammed while I was washing the inside panes, and I was imprisoned between the two windows. In order to get out without shattering the door, I had to ease it back very carefully. It struck me that relationships operate the same way. They also shatter easily and have to be approached carefully. I then made a further association about how the careful opening of doors was related to establishing relationships in the first place. While I was trapped between the windows, it was almost impossible to communicate through the glass. Being autistic is like being trapped like this.

The entirety of the piece started me wondering about telepathy ...
