    Kate Griggs On Unlocking The Power Of Dyslexic Thinking

    Kate Griggs is a powerhouse in the world of neurodiversity. As the founder and CEO of Made By Dyslexia, she’s on a mission to help the world understand, value, and support dyslexic thinking—not as a disadvantage, but as a superpower. She’s the author of two bestselling books, This Is This Is Dyslexia and Xtraordinary People and the host of the chart-topping podcast Lessons in Dyslexic Thinking, where she’s interviewed everyone from Sir Richard Branson to Erin Brockovich. In this episode, Kate takes us back to the beginning of her own dyslexic journey—and shares what inspired her to launch a global movement. We talk about the outdated education system, how to nurture dyslexic strengths from a young age, and why ADHD, dyscalculia, and other forms of neurodiversity so often go hand in hand. She also shares the common traits she’s noticed in successful dyslexic thinkers and the one piece of advice she’d give her 7-year-old self. If you’re a parent, teacher, or someone navigating neurodiversity yourself, this conversation is full of insight, warmth, and wisdom.
