Check out what Patrick Dempsey shares about having dyslexia.

Brilliant Wednesday Wisdom for any Dyslexic Thinker from Grey's Anatomy star, Patrick Dempsey.

As dyslexics, navigating a school system that measures us on our challenges and not our strengths, we're used to making mistakes. But we're also experts in picking ourselves up, dusting ourselves down and trying again. And when we find and focus on our strengths, there's no stopping us.

4 out of 5 successful dyslexics attribute their success to their Dyslexic Thinking.

Made by Dylsexia shared this powerful pep talk by Jason Lewis. We know that some of our local parents are giving talks like this to their kids every day to lift them up.

"Just know that you’re no less. Your mind just works in different ways, and you’re gonna do amazing."

We love this pep talk Lewis Hamilton gave his neice after she found out she was dyslexic - just like him.

When you discover you're dyslexic, it's vital that you hear the right messages from the get go, and that you understand your Dyslexic Thinking brings extraordinary strengths that are even more vital in our changing world, as well as challenges, which - with the right support - you can work around.
