Dyslexic minds process information in divergent, creative and lateral ways, and have created some of the world’s greatest inventions, brands and art. But education systems aren’t designed for dyslexic thinking and typically measure success by how accurately students regurgitate facts in an exam or test. Most dyslexics find this difficult, and stifling to their imaginative and creative thinking. In our recent interview with Richard Branson he said “If you’re not good at conventional education you are made to feel stupid”.

That’s why many dyslexics only begin to flourish after school, when they’re no longer forced to fit into the confines of education and can truly tap into their dyslexic thinking and apply it to their endeavours. Like Richard Branson who you will recognise in many of the Skills listed in my previous posts.

It's becoming more common for people to realize their brains might process information and experience the world differently, which falls under the umbrella of neurodiversity. If you're curious about whether your own traits align with common neurodivergent profiles like autism or ADHD, taking a general Neurodivergent Test online can be an interesting starting point for exploration. These tests often cover a range of characteristics related to sensory processing, social interaction, attention, and executive function. It's not a diagnostic tool for any specific condition, but it can help you identify patterns and decide if you want to explore specific assessments with a professional. It’s about understanding your unique cognitive style.
