Turning Dyslexia into a Career Advantage: Accessibility, problem solving and finding work that fits

What does clarity really mean when your brain reads the world differently?In this episode of the PivotLab Podcast, Jonathan Chu and Nancie Saw sit down with Alysha Baig, a neurodivergent clarity strategist whose work lives at the intersection of accessibility, design thinking, and beautifully simple problem solving. Diagnosed with dyslexia at 19, Alysha shares what dyslexia actually feels like from the inside and why the way we talk about disability matters. She unpacks a powerful belief that runs through everything she builds: clarity is not a luxury. It is accessibility.You’ll hear the story behind her accessibility driven projects, from building an app that maps wheelchair friendly routes on campus to pushing for policy change so automated door buttons actually work when buildings are open. In a full circle moment, we also dive into what she built during the Lovable Hackathon within just three hours, including a reading ruler feature and an empathy preview that helps people understand dyslexia more accurately.This is not a story about disability. It is a story about turning confusion into clarity for yourself and for others.In this episode, we explore: Why dyslexia is often misunderstood and what it really feels like Why language shapes inclusion and why “suffers from” misses the point How neurodivergence can be a strength in tech, design, and leadership What Alysha built during the hackathon and why it made the room go quiet The gaps in how Malaysia understands learning differences Simple ways leaders, teachers, and teams can support neurodivergent people starting today You can also check out Alysha’s Chrome extension, LegiAble Lite, which helps dyslexic users read more comfortably by changing fonts on web pages and adding a reading ruler to reduce cognitive load.
