It would be the very first car she would ever call her own, and the first one she would ever drive, despite already being an adult in her 40s. “I never learned to drive because I was afraid,” she admits. Ms. Dingfelder is a journalist, an expert interviewer and a lifelong storyteller. She is also neuroatypical.
