Neurodivergent & Neurotypical Twins: "It Made Me Feel Inferior"

Twin Country Singers, Catherine & Lizzy Ward Thomas, on Dyslexia, ADHD & Music

At just 22, Ward Thomas made history as the first UK country act
to reach number one. Twin sisters Lizzy and Catherine have firmly
established themselves as trailblazers in the British country
music scene, but the journey to the top wasn't always smooth.

In this chat with Ben, Lizzy and Catherine reflect on how
neurodivergence has shaped their identities, creativity, and
music. They discuss Lizzy’s feelings of inadequacy as the
"dyslexic twin," the struggles of ADHD decision paralysis, the
importance of creating space for one another, and the challenges
of sibling comparison in a neurodivergent family. The sisters
also share why Dyslexic thinkers often thrive as singers and
songwriters.

Stick around until the end—you might just be treated to a special
a cappella performance!
