Hi everyone, I'm Kai Dickens and welcome to a very special episode of The Talk Tracks.

Today, we're thrilled to share our first ever live recording, captured at South by Southwest in the heart of Austin, Texas.

In honor of Autism Awareness Month, we're releasing this conversation now because it touches on something vital,

how we navigate love, dating, and consent in a neurodiverse world.

Our panel includes some truly remarkable voices, including one of the beloved parents from

season one of the telepathy tapes. So without further ado, here's our live recording from the

stunning gardens at the Hotel St. Cecilia Austin. Looking for a deeper, more meaningful way to

connect? Bumble is committed to fostering healthy and equitable relationships for everyone,

including the neurodivergent community. Find authentic connection, shared experiences,

and love beyond words. Download Bumble today. Well, I think we can all agree that love is something we all seek, but the way we express

it and experience it and communicate it is as diverse as our own neural wiring.

So today on the talk tracks live from South by Southwest in Austin, we're diving into love and connection

in a neurodiverse world, breaking down misconceptions and celebrating the many ways people build

meaningful and deep relationships. I am joined by three incredible guests, truly remarkable people.

So first, Whitney Wolf heard, the founder of Bumble,

who changed the game from modern dating by making connection intentional and empowering.

Jez Chung, a multi-disciplinary disciplinary artist whose work explores identity, neurodivergence, and connection through creative expression.

And my dear friend Libby Ingram, whose non-speaking son John Paul, as featured on the telepathy tapes, captured our hearts with his relationship with his girlfriend, Lily, which also included a bit of telepathy.

So we're going to talk about love and connection and ways technology and understanding and empathy are shaping the future of relationships for everyone.

So first, you know, I'm going to give you guys all a question, but I think it was we kind of set the tone for the night.

The one thing I want everyone to remember is that, you know, love isn't ever fitting into a mold.

It's just not. It's about finding the person who sees you and understands you and celebrates you exactly as you are.
