Do I Know You? A Journey Through Neurodiversity and Inner Lives
Journalist and author Sadie Dingfelder takes us on a journey through the hidden diversity of human perception. Diagnosed with aphantasia (the inability to create mental images) and face blindness, Sadie has learned firsthand how drastically inner worlds can differ from person to person. These differences impact how we connect with others, process emotions, and navigate relationships.
As we explore Sadie’s personal experiences and her book, Do I Know You?, we uncover how assumptions about shared realities often drive misunderstanding and frustration. In a time when social media algorithms amplify outrage and political bias, acknowledging neurodiversity helps us better understand those who think, feel, and see the world differently.
We also discuss the broader implications of these differences, from the ways extreme media narratives distort the news to the role empathy plays in diffusing political anger and polarization. Sadie offers a unique perspective on reducing conflict and fostering meaningful connections in a world where voters and individuals often feel divided by unseen barriers.
Join us for a fascinating conversation about perception, connection, and what it means to embrace the remarkable range of human experience. Listen now and discover how curiosity about others’ inner worlds can help counteract frustration, outrage, and division.
