Autism, Synaesthesia and Creativity

Does autism make you MORE creative? What is Synaesthesia? Are syntesthetes more creative than your average person? Can autistic people think outside the box? In this episode of the Thoughty Auti Podcast, Thomas talks to an autistic artist called Ina (@superspectrumgirl) about what it means to be creative and whether autism influences someone's creative abilities in a positive or negative way.  Ina was the quiet, geeky girl with big glasses in her school library and has always had a strong passion for artistic expression. Thomas grew up with a more logical and factual inclination towards the sciences but has since started a few creative ventures later in his university life. Whilst both are diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome, Ina has her own little secret that adds a bit of spice to her work... she has synaesthesia! We chat about all the aspects of creativity... how it helps your mental health, the many ways of expressing yourself, how many autistic people go against the triad of impairments with their creative abilities, and what aspects of autism make these abilities easier or harder to manifest. Both Thomas and Ina find a lot of common ground on the topic and both share a passion for sharing a little bit of their soul with the outside world. In this age of social media, it can be hard to get your stuff to a high place, but it also opens many doors for branching out to all continents.
