Normally Weird and Weirdly Normal by Robin Ince

Normally Weird and Weirdly Normal is a deeply fascinating account of what it is like to live, love, and think when you see the world through the lens of a neurodivergent brain.

Frequently moving and often hilarious, Robin’s accounts of his own challenges with everyday life, as well as a whole cast of friends and audience members, really bring home how it feels to have an inner saboteur whose sole mission is to devalue and criticise everything you do. This, on top of a tragic childhood experience which went on to colour his whole life.

But, this is ultimately an uplifting story, as, with the aid of a lot of talking and a late diagnosis of ADHD, Robin explains how he has turned the tables on his inner voice and is now in control of his thoughts and happier than ever before. And anyway, what is normal and what is weird?

However your minds works or how you see the world, I guarantee you’ll embrace your own weird and be able to relate to more of this fabulous book than you might have expected, and indeed learn a little bit more about yourself too in the process …
