Five-year-old Ramses Sanguino is now being studied by a respected neuroscientist because of his apparent mind-reading abilities.
Ramses is learning seven languages and solving complex math problems. He is believed to be one of the five savants in the world.
Dr Diane Powell, who was formerly on the faculty at Harvard Medical School, watched his videos that were posted by his mum, Nyx. Her theory is that telepathy may represent an alternative method of communication between autistic children and their parents.
She said: "If you think about it, if you have your primary language compromised then that would be a perfect setup for telepathy - because here you have a child and a parent who desperately want to communicate with one another but can't.
"I have found many autistic children who have been reported to be telepathic and I wanted to see it for myself and see if it can be evaluated and actually tested under rigorous, controlled conditions."
Nyx, who is homeschooling Ramses, said, "I knew even before he was born he was going to be someone special who would change the world. Even when he was a baby he didn't like toys, he just liked reading.
"He started reading when he was 12 months old and could even say words in English, Spanish, Greek and some Japanese.
"When he was 18 months old he knew all the multiplication tables in English and Spanish and had learned the periodic table and all the atomic numbers.
"I taught him some of the languages but I have no idea how he learned parts of Hindi, Arabic or Hebrew by the time he was three. It may have been through the house computer that is often left on.
"I put him into a school but it was a nightmare. He was the only child who could read in the class. The teacher liked him at first and called him the little professor.
