Robin Ince - Normally Weird, Weirdly Normal : My Adventures in Neurodiversity
One of the hardest working comedians on the touring circuit, Robin Ince was diagnosed with ADHD at the age of fifty-two: all of a sudden, his concealed struggles with sadness, concentration, self-doubt and anxiety started to make sense.
With more and more adults and children being diagnosed as neurodiverse, Robin uses his own experiences to talk about what “normal” is – and whether it really exists.
With plenty of anecdotes, stories and laughs along the way, this is a quirky and witty dive into the world of neuroscience and human behaviour, and a reminder to everyone; no matter how weird we feel, it’s okay to be a little different.

A powerful, personal exploration of anxiety, ADHD and neurodiversity, Normally Weird and Weirdly Normal reminds us all – no matter how weird we feel – that it’s okay to be a little different. We all are.
What if being a bit weird is actually entirely normal? What if sharing our internal struggles wasn’t a sign of weakness, but strength?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. But then he discovered he had all the hallmarks of ADHD and his stumbling blocks became stepping stones.
