For over thirty years, award-winning broadcaster and comedian Robin Ince has entertained thousands in person and on air. But underneath the surface, a whirlwind was at play a struggle with sadness, concentration, self doubt and near-constant anxiety. After his ADHD diagnosis at the age of fifty-two, it all started to make sense. In Normally Weird and Weirdly Normal, Robin uses his own experiences to explore the fascinating world of neurodivergence and to ask what normal really is and whether it even exists. Packed with personal insights,
intimate anecdotes and interviews with therapists, neuroscientists and celebrities, this is a quirky and witty dive
into the world of neuroscience and human behaviour.
A powerful, personal exploration of anxiety, ADHD and self-acceptance, Normally Weird and Weirdly Normal reminds us all - no matter how weird we feel - that its okay to be a little different.
