✨ It's Star Wars day - so May the 4th be with you!

Like so many directors, George Lucas, is dyslexic!

He uses his Dyslexic Thinking skills of Imagining and Visualising to create incredible worlds, iconic characters and fantastical stories.

Other incredible dyslexics who use the power of their imagination to bring stories to life include Steven Spielberg, Spike Lee - and of course the wonderful Liv Tyler who stars in our new animated short film 'What is dyslexia?'

🙏 Please visit whatisdyslexia.org and Watch, Like, Share & Review our brilliant new film and help get it to the top of every search.

Dyslexic thinking made me the scientist I am today. If we could harness its power, imagine what could be possible | Maggie Aderin

Progress has always been made by people who think differently. Neurodiversity helps us think outside the box – and when we do, the sky’s the limit, says space scientist Maggie Aderin

We love these wise words from brilliant dyslexic thinker, and 7 times F1 World Champion, Lewis Hamilton to his dyslexic niece. They're words every dyslexic should hear.

Harnessing his Dyslexic Thinking - exceptional 3D spatial awareness and razor-sharp intuition - he became unstoppable on the track. The result? More wins, pole positions, podiums, and points than any driver in Formula 1 history.

My first memory from school was doing the alphabet. My teacher asked us to put letters in the right order to make two or three-letter words.

I just stood there blank.

I can still remember the humiliation and the sheer panic of that moment.

I left school at 18 with no usable qualifications.

At 25, I went back to my old school to retake my A-levels. I was sat in a room with 16 year olds. They thought I was the supply teacher.

At university, I was finally diagnosed with dyslexia and suddenly everything started to make sense.

I went on to do a doctorate and became Labour MP for beautiful Hove and Portslade.

Now, I’m Secretary of State for Business and Trade in the first Labour government for 14 years.

I’m so proud of what we’ve achieved already. Investment is up. Productivity is up. Business sentiment is up.

That entrepreneurial spirit and ambition, and never giving up even when life got hard, is something I’ll always have.

I want you to know this: persistence pays off.
