The Neuro Dope Podcast - audio

Welcome to Neurodope, where unexpected connections spark extraordinary journeys. I'm Sabe, and together with Katie and Neil, we embark on an unscripted exploration of neurodivergence, personal growth, and the transformative power of peer support.

In October 2023, amidst my wife Jen's battle with MS, a conversation with our friend Brenner led me to Neil—an autistic savant with a rich history of coaching based on his lived experiences. Neil had also faced the sorrow of losing his partner to illness. Driven by a desire to help Jen and inspired by Neil's insights, our initial coaching sessions quickly evolved into this podcast. Neil's perspective and strategies aren't just theory; they're a lifeline.

Katie, stepping into co-hosting with mere minutes of heads-up, discovered through Neil's guidance a newfound understanding of her ADHD and a deeper appreciation for her intrinsic value. Neil taught us about co-regulation—how we can adjust our neurological responses to interact harmoniously with the world. This journey has been transformative, not just for us, but for everyone involved.

Neurodope is more than a podcast; it's a real-time demonstration of learning, growing, and finding light in each other. Neil brings a post-materialist savant's wisdom to every episode, offering insights that resonate deeply with anyone feeling unseen or undervalued. For more information about the intersection of autism, savant skills, and a post-materialist framework, see Ky Dickens' "The Telepathy Tapes. She provides a compelling complement to our discussions, underscoring the inherent value and competence within us all.

Our dialogues are a testament to the power of visibility, recognition, and mutual support. As we navigate these topics, we invite you to reflect on your journey and join our conversation.

So, what insights will you take away? How will these discussions illuminate your path? Share with us your thoughts, your breakthroughs, and what support you wish to find in the world. Together, we're rewriting the narrative of neurodivergence, celebrating the unique light each of us carries.

And just for a touch of whimsy:

An executive, a model, and a savant walk into a bar…and the bar tender says, “hey we don't serve light in here!” And he kicks them out onto the street.

So they started a podcast.

The name of the bar you ask?

"Plato’s Cave."

Join us on Neurodope—let's illuminate the world together.
