Facilitated communication edit

I'm bad at wikipedia but someone should take a look at this article. I don't know how to draw attention here but Facilitated communication is not considered scientific, therefore it is VERY unlikely that Higashida has written any of the works on his name. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.250.3.250 (talk) 12:35, 25 February 2017 (UTC)Reply

This is a very important point, as 'facilitated communication' by holding hands would undermine the credibility of Naoki's works. I see no reference for 'with the help of adults who assisted by guiding his hand'. David Mitchell has clarified that Naoki uses an alphabet grid alone and has now also learned to vocalise characters. I'll add those references in. --Cedderstk 20:02, 29 October 2017 (UTC)Reply
