Jamie Oliver reveals some of his children have been diagnosed as neurodivergent as he says knowing how they see things differently allows him and Jools to be 'better parents'


Jamie Oliver opened up on his 'very neurodiverse family', revealing that understanding how their children see things differently allows him and wife Jools to be 'better parents'.

And in a new interview, Jamie has told how he navigates his 'bonkers family' with Jools, 50, and their children, amid diagnoses of dyslexia, ADHD and ASD (autism spectrum disorder) in the past year. The TV star shares daughters Poppy, 23, Daisy, 22, and Petal, 16, and sons Buddy, 14, and River, eight, with his former model spouse, with the eldest two having flown the nest. Ahead of his documentary release, he told The Sunday Times: 'I'm unpacking quite a lot of stuff and I'm oversharing with you because I've got to f***ing work this s**t out, I thought I'd buried it but it's hitting a nerve.
