Celebrity chef Jamie Oliver says in a recent interview about the diagnoses she had for her children. Oliver has five children with his wife Jools: Poppy, 23, Daisy, 22, Petal, 16, Buddy, 14, and River, 8.
Oliver says in a recent interview that his children are in the neuroba. He says that children have been diagnosed with Dyslex, ADHD and autism spectrum in the last year.
Oliver himself has also been diagnosed with Dyslex. He has told about his own diagnosis in Channel 4’s new documentary series, Jamie’s Dyslexia Revolution.
In a recent interview, Oliver talks about the different challenges of the family. Oliver says he and his wife Jools talk to their children every night in bed. With discussions, Oliver has learned to understand that the behavior of children is due to the fact that they see things differently.
However, Oliver has not told what diagnosis has been found to any child. To The Times, Oliver tells that awareness of the diagnoses of his children gives him the opportunity to be a better parent.
– Imagine four people in the neuroba at the dining table trying to say his thing, Oliver tells The Times.
Oliver himself got his diagnosis at a young age. Now, 50-year-old Oliver points out how different things were treated at that time.
“People didn’t know so much about our brain 30 years ago,” Oliver says.
In connection with the release of the documentary, Oliver told about his own challenges as a young neuroeypyp. For example, at school, he was called a “silly silly”. He also said that his learning curve made him feel “worthless, stupid and slow”.
Oliver told how his learning at his time was different compared to the present.
“I had no extra time for exams, there was no strategy, just a little tutoring,” Oliver said.
“There was no strong knowledge of Dyslexia then,” Oliver said.
With the documentary, Oliver calls for urgent changes to schools, for example, in Dyslexia’s early screening and teachers. According to Oliver, teachers are doing a good job, but he emphasizes proper training to meet students with special needs.
