The Neurodivergent Vet: Dyslexia, High Stress Work & The Power of Pets

In this episode, Ben sits down with Rory the Vet - veterinary
surgeon, TV presenter, author, and ambassador for the British
Dyslexia Association.


Diagnosed with dyslexia late during his veterinary studies, Rory
is now a passionate advocate for early identification, school
support, and embracing ND brains.


They explore the realities of dyslexia in high-pressure work
environments, the mental health crisis among vets, and the
therapeutic (and often overlooked) role of animals in wellbeing.


Rory also shares practical tips for revision and ND brains,
insights from his charity work, and gives a playful way to find
out how you might discover if your dog thinks differently…!


CW: This episode contains references to mental health and
suicide.

The Hidden 20% is a charity founded by ADHD & autistic
entrepreneur Ben Branson.


Our mission is simple: To change how the world sees
neurodivergence.


No more stigma. No more shame. No more silence.


1 in 5 people are neurodivergent. That’s 1.6 billion of us - yet
too many are still excluded, misunderstood, or left without
support.


To break the cycle, we amplify voices, challenge myths, and keep
showing up. Spotlighting stories, stats and hard truths. Smashing
stereotypes through honest voices, creative campaigns and
research that can’t be ignored.Every month, over 50,000 people
turn to The Hidden 20% to feel safe, seen and to learn about
brilliant brains.


With your support, we can reach further, grow louder, and keep
fighting for the 1 in 5 who deserve more.

Be part of our community where great minds think differently.
