I wonder if a single thing about this man has been fact checked??
Also he claimed to have worked with speech therapists, behaviourists and educational psychologists for hours every day for years (which is totally plausible on the NHS /s) but his wife suddenly reading to him from a phonics book and he finally learns to read himselfHe met his wife at 18. She taught him to read and write. He‘s on record on multiple other sources saying that he learned to read and write at 18. What a busy year. Wife gets cut out in the second clip though, by then it was Sandro who did the heavy lifting on teaching him. Hmmm.
Yes, I was wondering how his wife had managed this amazing breakthrough that thousands of hours of work with these crack teams plus his devoted, busy mum hadn’t managed over more than a decade working with him? She gets a book of phonics and within a couple of years he’s ready for a phD?Also he claimed to have worked with speech therapists, behaviourists and educational psychologists for hours every day for years (which is totally plausible on the NHS /s) but his wife suddenly reading to him from a phonics book and he finally learns to read himself

Have we all not just imagined him like a really crap version of Total Recall?Is the wife even real ?
Especially when you consider he was born in '85 so this would have been taking place from 88 onwards. They're not good at early intervention now, I doubt they were much better at it in the 80's/90's and suspect they were probably worse.Surely three hours of speech therapy a day, seven days a week would have been exhausting for a small child? Do the NHS even have the resources for that level of care, let alone three hour appointments on a Sunday?
Someone who has an advanced copy posted a page from his upcoming book and apparently his Mum was in the waiting room while he was being abused by a therapist for not being able to speak.No. You're lucky to get a 20 min appt twice a year and once school age even less. Things weren't that different when he was younger. Let alone the time to go and take him, it's not a nursery and requires a parent there the whole time.
No. I can confirm you get duck all on the NHS. Maybe an hour with a SALT a month if you’re lucky.Surely three hours of speech therapy a day, seven days a week would have been exhausting for a small child?
