I have dyslexia and I started my new job last month and I wasn't catching on with the training of the job. I finally broke down crying in my supervisors office and told her that I'm dyslexic and now I have a special training for the job and now I enjoy my job because I know what I'm supposed to do for the position.
Why even work a job that requires reading and writing if you can’t read and write though? That’s basically just setting yourself up for failure and disappointment in my opinion.
@@sn98886 I can read and write. It's the way I process information that's what dyslexia is. I have been at the same job for 3 years now and I love it everyday and I'm doing a very good job there.
@sexychocolateable : I'm glad for you that your supervisor had the cop-on and humanity to give you due respect. [From fellow dyslexic. By the way, I had 50+ DIFFERENT kinds of jobs by the age of 30. Billy to Jack. Never out of work, can turn my hands to almost anything so long as it's not 9-5 in an office. I tell a lie, I was a cleaner in an office for a Summer and two half days in a law firn doing Mickey Mouse work - checking cheques. I'll work through the night if I have to, or do a 16 hour stretch per day for 10 days, as I once did - but not now; although I work, in one form or other seven days a week and still balanced - relatively !]
I have dyslexia. In my school we have something called the Hot Chocolate Club, all the people that have dyslexia in my school go and we learn about ways to make it easier for us.
When I was 12 in 2000, we had something called the Breakfast Club at my school. Young kids with dyslexia were encouraged to join. There was free food and drink, we would all read together. Great times :)
Did you make hot_choc.??
I love this!!! Do you know if this is a national thing or just for your school?
Most people (including myself before we recently learned my 12-year-old son has dyslexia) don’t understand that the disability greatly affects the ability to comprehend and follow the spoken word. Most people only believe dyslexia to affect reading. Understanding the TRUTH of this answers SO MANY questions and confusions I’ve had about my son for years. IT MAKES SO MUCH MORE SENSE to understand dyslexia for what [everything] it actually is!
Pro tip : you can watch series on Flixzone. I've been using it for watching loads of movies recently.
I have dyslexia and I wasn't really comfortable about it but now I was your video and I'm really really bright and bright girl
Never let dyslexia deter you. I found out I was dyslexic aged 54 yrs when training to be a police emergency call handler. I did struggle to become a call handler but managed it by opening my eyes to dyslexia and realising I was still the same person I had been for 54yrs.
It's not about how smart you are...it is how you are smart. Dyslexia is a gift. My son is dyslexic and he is an accomplished chef like Jamie now, but school was a nightmare for him. Thankfully, we survived with the help of others who understood. One of which was a book by Ronald D. Davis called 'The Gift of Dyslexia'. Quite enlightening.
I mean I wouldn’t say dyslexia is a gift since it’s literally a disability and calling it a gift is quite dismissive to dyslexics who’ve struggled their entire life imo. Like I have ADHD and it’s not a fucking superpower lmao, it screws up my daily life and if I could take a pill to reverse it I’d do it in a heartbeat. I’m sure dyslexics feel the same way about their dyslexia lmao.
Am not dyslexic but i have really liked lessons about it because it will also help me understand better my students in class.
I was labelled as “thick in the head” and put into special needs, pocked fun of infront of the whole class by the students as well as the teachers and spent the whole of my working life hiding that I couldn’t spell or read, by working in any job that was simple and didn’t involve writing. The shame and stress I felt for over 35 years, that someone will find me out was immense.
Now I finally know I’m dyslexic (was in denial, because I was told it’s a mental disability) and understand what it is, I don’t need to be ashamed of it any longer.
So thankful people have done so much research on it over the last 20 years and that many famous/successful people have come out telling the public about their challenges.
I don’t need to feel small anymore!
He speaks well. I’m proud of him
My 10 year old has just been diagnosed as dyslexic & I’m excited for her future. She is an incredible storyteller & artist & has a passion for horses. She has her challenges but they don’t define her.
My 12-year-old son has dyslexia. He is an INCREDIBLE kid who is determined, dedicated, creative, imaginative, and innovative! Unfortunately, our school system has done him a true injustice, despite my fight, by offering him ZERO help; they attribute their neglect to his A-and-B-only grades. However, they don’t witness the HOURS UPON HOURS he pours into schoolwork [nightly], not to mention the FLOODS of frustrated and discouraged tears upon tears that he cries. I’M SHOWING HIM THIS VIDEO AS SOON AS HE GETS HOME FROM SCHOOL TODAY!
He loves both athletics and any/all creative outlets- including cooking! Who knows?! Maybe HE will be an amazing/successful CHEF someday! Maybe HE will share his own stories to inspire the masses! ♥️
THANK YOU for sharing, Jamie! ♥️
Thank you, Mr. Oliver you have always been my favorite chef, and now you're my most admired.
I was told too i m a dyslexia kid … I use to get dragged out of my classes n have a 1 to 1 sessions … the teacher I had ( Mrs Reece) she was useless …. I been bullied online for my grammar … but to b fair … it’s never bothered me …. I’m proud of who I am … still trying to find a life I dream of… which I know doesn’t exist yet …. But I love not being like everyone else … because it who i am …. I resonate so nicely with Jamie Oliver 😊…. I’m just happy to know I am the physics ❤️☺️
…. What will I do … only god knows 😁…. But to wake up every morning n know I’m not doing routine work … puts a spark in my life …. I’m not struggling… I’m just on my journey to my final destination… sometimes it not easy …. But the fact that I love 😊 being me is what motivates me …
I’m not your average girl 😊…
And I’m definitely not settling for the known …. Because my life is Gigantic 🤙🏾🙏🏼
I will make a path ❤
His last sentence...so powerful.
School for me was hard work and horrible at times because of being Dyslexic, Dyspraxic and Dyscalulic and I was bullied a lot. I liked some of school but it has taken me just over 15 years to get to a point there I am happy in myself.
I’m not dyslexic but the video is interesting
My granddaughter with dyslexia is just starting to be home schooled, and I am covering her famous person project while we are on a cruise. Jamie Oliver is my topic and has provided lots of cool thoughts. Thanks for the video!
Wow, well said Jamie..
Absolutely correct..Thick Kid...know all about that..
Eloquently said and described..
Keep rocking mate..
Really pleased I clicked on this my opinion and views massively changed because of your honesty
Take care
You are right that nobody should be put in a 'special room.' As a teacher in Canada, I'm hoping that we are working hard to meet the needs of the many different kinds of learners that we have. I hope we are not 'rigid.' I hope that we are also able to feed our students well, because right now we are not. And that is part of the way to reaching our students. Keep up the good fight, Jamie!
I have struggled and experienced great frustration and challenges throughout my educational career due to dyslexia. As a mental disorder it makes the rare at which I acquire knowledge from my studies and concentration on my work ethic and time devoted to studying hard. When I was in 11th grade I arrived to class one afternoon in a terrible state over having failed the class after so much devotion, hard work and efforts and time. My teacher and I arranged a separate conference and I seriously broke in front of her explains the pain I witness from dyslexia. Since then I received significant assistance for and am preparing my properly written college essays.
Thank you for sharing your story!
Great video I hope to see more interviews!
So inspiring!
There's different types of intelligence. Very true
I don’t have Dyslexia but I have other learning needs and I hated my Junior school because I would get pulled out of my lessons and have to have lessons with teachers I didn’t like and I am a good kid but if I was with them teachers I didn’t like I would mouth off and get in loads of trouble
I struggle with maths but with my dyslexia, I am really creative but I struggle with my reading so I uses a reading strip
Thanks
Yes!
I try to find that spark for my self
I find that all who have dyslexia have always been put in the dumb , special case class at school, I was and the help my parents fort for ended up helping the other kids in the class more than me. ??
I feel like schools measure you to much and what makes me unhappy is when schools don't have the funding to help them test students for Dyslexia. And it is not all schools but I do think it does not need to be based on measurement
I think we need to rethink this whole school is to help us become good people. Actually that's the parent's job, and school shouldn't be imposing a value system of 'good' and 'bad' on us, because that's just handing over power to people whose values maybe or may not be what we consider good. Look no further that the people who think for the sake of good they have carte blanche to teach white kids they are inherently bad. When exactly did society at large decide that racism for the sake of some bizarre and twisted idea of 'equity' was cool? That's what we get when schools start imposing values on kids. If schools can keep kids from shooting each other, a feat they've yet to master, I'd call that moral success.
Hi,my name is Rose I think I'm dyslexic
C1 Exam ;V
Hello Jamie good video very inspiring I like it. Your story is similar to mine I didn't do well in school and left with out the ability to read and write. At the age of 42 I manage to get funding from access to work and I went to my local college for one-to-one support. And I started to read with their help I use a reading pen. Overlays and a programme on my laptop called Dragon for writing. I work in the care industry I care for people with learning disabilities and mental health I think being dyslexic and having to struggle in the past makes me a better carer and good at my job all the best Nigel
Yes and you can fucking tell he's a special kid by the way he behaves. It's always been obvious there's something not right about him.
They really do teach a load of crap to kids these days even the parents know it won't get them anywhere I just tend to attract evering around it now independent actors/actress or peoples own independent production companies never got me anywhere
Who decided on the word "dyslexia" for this condition? Fucking hard to spell
this guy says he's lucky to have dyslexia, but I think the eg fried rice he murdered would like to disagree.
