The speaker asks people how they think and shares their answers: some see checklists, others an Excel spreadsheet, one friend with autism describes rolling dice in his head to find related memories. Everyone's internal process looks different.
Chapters
I ask them to describe what it looks like for them to think. And you get an unbelievable insight into a person when you say, hey, what does it look like for you to think? Because you get people who think in checklists. You get people who think in. I had a guy who said, my brain's a bit like an Excel spreadsheet, except when I look at a cell, it starts referencing cells on other pages. And so I'm going through all that information. I have a really good friend who has autism, and I was like, hey, tell me, what does it look like for you to think? And he's telling me about how he. When someone's talking to him, he has the information come in from them, but he almost rolls dice in his head to try and find information in his own brain that relates to what they're talking about. And then the next time I was chatting with him, I saw him look up into the corner of the sky, and I'm like, he's rolling the dice.
