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

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!
