Surrey: Dame Maggie Aderin-Pocock says dyslexia is her superpower

The broadcaster hosted The Sky at Night and appeared on BBC Four’s Stargazing Live and Doctor Who Confidential.

Dame Aderin-Pocock worked on the world’s most powerful telescope, the James Webb Space Telescope, and runs a company to introduce children to science.

She will tell the show about her experiences with a learning difficulty and as an ambassador for charity Made By Dyslexia.

She said: “I was diagnosed with dyslexia in my 40s. I used to say I suffer from dyslexia. But now I see dyslexia as my superpower.

“Dyslexia gives me all sorts of skills I would not otherwise have.”

The scientist was turned into a Barbie by Mattel in 2023 to mark International Women’s Day.

She joked: “It looks like me – but on a really good day!”
