From this long-rear end article:

New York Times posted:

Anna didn’t want to keep her feelings secret. As far as she knew, neither did D.J. In recent weeks, their relationship had changed, and it wasn’t clear when or how to share the news. ‘‘It’s your call,’’ she said to him in the lead-up to a meeting with his mother and older brother. ‘‘It’s your family. It’s up to you.’’

When she arrived at the house on Memorial Day in 2011, Anna didn’t know what D.J. planned to do. His brother, Wesley, was working in the garden, so she went straight inside to speak with D.J. and his mother, P. They chatted for a while at the dining table about D.J.’s plans for school and for getting his own apartment. Then there was a lull in the conversation after Wesley came back in, and Anna took hold of D.J.’s hand. ‘‘We have something to tell you,’’ they announced at last. ‘‘We’re in love.’’

‘‘What do you mean, in love?’’ P. asked, the color draining from her face.

To Wesley, she looked pale and weak, like ‘‘Caesar when he found out that Brutus betrayed him.’’ He felt sick to his stomach. What made them so uncomfortable was not that Anna was 41 and D.J. was 30, or that Anna is white and D.J. is black, or even that Anna was married with two children while D.J. had never dated anyone. What made them so upset — what led to all the arguing that followed, and the criminal trial and million-­dollar civil suit — was the fact that Anna can speak and D.J. can’t; that she was a tenured professor of ethics at Rutgers University in Newark and D.J. has been declared by the state to have the mental capacity of a toddler.

tl;dr:

  • Super-liberal disability advocate seeks out severely disabled black man in search for elusive Least Privileged Man
  • Offers his caregivers a way to teach a man with no apparent motor control or cognitive ability to communicate using "facilitated communication" technique
  • Said techniques consist of holding a disabled person's hand while they type; miraculously, it turns out a man who never had any education of any kind can write every bit as well as an educated woman with a PhD in ethics
  • Claims that a man who lacks the motor function to keep his head and eyes steady is capable of reading at world speed-reading levels, doesn't find anything weird about this
  • Believes her own bullshit so hard she convinces herself that the two of them are in love with each other, lives elaborate private charade of writing love notes to herself through "typing" of disabled man
  • Somehow manages to have sex with a mental toddler, is shocked and horrified to learn that people don't approve
  • They're probably just upset because she's white and he's black, is all

I've never heard of this "facilitated communication" thing (presumably because it's quack science) but I'm kind of bummed that there's no legitimate technique behind it. I feel bad for severely disabled people and it would be pretty rad if there was a way to help them make sense of their world and let them communicate. I would have expected something more along the lines of ape language experiments like Koko or Punbanisha, though, instead of the pupil suddenly turning out to be a sensitive genius with a passion for disability advocacy and white upper-middle class tastes (facilitated communication advocates insist that these results are reproducible, in that every profoundly disabled person they attempt to teach with facilitated communication techniques turns out to be a sensitive genius with a passion for disability advocacy and white upper-middle class tastes.) When I first started reading the article I assumed that she was a teacher/handler who had wildly over-optimistic interpretations of some crude language construct like "me person like woman you pretty person" but lol nope she actually believed he was secretly really into red wines and writing stirring essays on ethics while he writhed spasmodically and soiled himself.

On the other hand, the founder of facilitated communication does offer some pretty compelling evidence so maybe it's not completely hopeless:

New York Times posted:

Just two weeks into this training, Crossley took out a magnetic board with letters on it to see if McDonald could spell things on her own. Less than a week later, McDonald pointed to the letters ‘I’ and ‘H’ and then to 11 more, producing ‘‘IHATEFATROSIE.’’ ‘‘This is the first sentence Annie ever spelled,’’ Crossley wrote. ‘‘Annie had freed herself.’’

quote:

When Wesley told Anna he thought she had taken advantage of his brother, she could not muster a response. At last, with her help, D.J. began typing: ‘‘No one’s been taken advantage of. I’ve been trying to seduce Anna for years, and she resisted valiantly.’’ Then he typed another message, meant for Anna: ‘‘Kiss me.’’ Wesley walked out.

For twelve years, you have been asking: Who is John Galt? This is John Galt speaking. I am the man who loves his life. I am the man who does not sacrifice his love or his values. I am the man who has deprived you of victims and thus has destroyed your world, and if you wish to know why you are peris

In the early 90's when this hadn't been debunked yet there were a bunch of cases where these facilitated communication people were facilitating rape accusations against the parents/families of disabled people.

Check out this amazing defense in response to scientists trying to evaluate the merit of the technique from wiki:
"Proponents claim that testing is demeaning to the disabled person[...]those being facilitated may purposely produce nonsense, refuse to respond or give wrong answers to counteract the negative attitudes of those who are skeptical of the technique."
