About this listen
Why do some people feel more "at home" in Middle-earth or aboard a starship than in their own neighborhood? Why is a dragon’s fire sometimes less frightening than a simple social conversation?
In this final installment of our trilogy, Alice and Marc explore the vital role of fiction for neurodivergent minds (Autism, ADHD). Discover how stories act as a "social manual" with explicit rules, and why the predictability of a favorite movie watched for the 100th time is a crucial tool for emotional regulation.
We’ll debunk the myth of the "lack of empathy" by looking at hyper-empathy and the Double Empathy Problem. From the honesty of robots to the safety of fantasy worlds, learn how fiction isn't an escape from reality, but a bridge that makes a chaotic world finally readable.
