In this episode, Dan from The Aspie World dives into a fascinating trait of the autistic brain — the need to process information faster than most people realize. If you’ve ever felt bored during a normal-speed conversation, video, audiobook, or podcast, you’re not alone!

Dan shares a personal story about how his autism and ADHD brain thrives on faster-paced input, like listening to podcasts at 2x speed. He explains why many autistic individuals prefer rapid data processing, how this ties into cognitive differences, and why embracing these unique traits can be empowering rather than frustrating.

If you have autism, ADHD, or both (AuDHD), and have ever felt misunderstood about how your brain craves stimulation and speed, this episode will make you feel seen, validated, and understood.
