I sit with, Leddy Glenn, a certified life coach who successfully surmounted many of the challenges of her dyslexia, and now directs her efforts to help other neurodivergent people identify areas of difficulty particular to their neurodiversity, as well as set or achieve goals, irrespective of the challenge.

Our guest today is Leddy, who had dyslexia growing up, and is now proud of her learning difference, teaching others that dyslexia is not a weakness but a superpower. Leddy is a former special education teacher for kids and young adults up to 21 years old.
As a life coach, Leddy helps individuals find their strengths and put them first to be successful because most people with learning differences focus largely on the challenges. She also works with people having autism, ADHD, and other not-so-obvious disabilities.
Sarah was diagnosed much later in life but the diagnosis helped her understand why her mode of learning was different from that of most people, and the tools made available created a huge difference for her. Leddy on the other hand was diagnosed in second grade around the age of 8 and she had started using tools much earlier. However, at the time, it was not seen in a positive light.

Using tools like Grammarly has also been highly beneficial for Leddy, especially with the advent of phone apps that make spelling much easier. Parents need to understand that these tools are not spoiling the kids or a form of cheating but a learning aid.
There is still a long way to go before the world is fully accepting of neurodiverse people, however, these conversations have started and the problem-solving qualities of neurodiverse people are getting more recognition.
