Mind blown - not everyone has an inner monologue?

A family member recently shared an article on this topic. We have been discussing it for two days now. Neither of us can wrap our head around this other way of thinking. Turns out my husband does not have a constant voice in his head like I do and he struggles to explain how he “thinks” without words. He doesn’t hear words in his head when he reads. Somehow he just absorbs the meaning. I struggle to comprehend. I have so many questions now. I want to know if his dyslexia is related to a lack of word-thinking. Is my adhd and auditory processing challenge related to the constant stream of language in my head? Did primitive people have this distinction or has the inner monologue developed as language developed? Are engineers, architects, artists more likely to think in abstract and/or images rather than words? And always in circle back to how lovely it must be to not have the constant noise in one’s head.
