Dyslexic 9-Year-Old Calls Out Trump

from Hearts and Handlebars · host Anna Holligan

On this school run, Donald Trump takes a swipe at dyslexia during Neurodiversity Week – and my nine-year-old dyslexic daughter is having none of it. We dive into how dyslexic brains really work, and why problem‑solving, empathy and a fierce sense of right and wrong are quiet superpowers. From Albert Einstein and Steve Jobs to a Charlotte’s Web casting twist, we unpack labels, stereotypes and what it means to feel different. There are daffodil alerts, curly‑girl hair hacks, fossil fuel ad bans in The Hague and Amsterdam, and a side-quest into my very questionable “signature dishes” versus other parents’ effortless feasts. If you’ve ever juggled lunch boxes, big feelings and breaking news before 9 a.m., hit play.
