About this listen

This audiobook is read with warmth, humility and humour by the author, Robin Ince, and includes an audio-exclusive Q&A between Robin and scientist and author Camilla Pang.

'Authentic, heartbreakingly wonderful and refreshingly grounded — this book captures the internal neurodivergent experience with rare grace and warmth' - Camilla Pang

'Tingles with the joy of being different. This book made me so happy' - Chris Packham, naturalist and author of
Fingers in the Sparkle Jar

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.

In Normally Weird and Weirdly Normal, Robin uses his own experiences to explore the neurodivergent experience and to ask what the point of 'being normal' really is. Packed with personal insights, intimate anecdotes and interviews with psychologists, neuroscientists and many neurodivergent people he has met along the way, this is a quirky and witty dive into the world of human behaviour.

'This is a comforting hug of a book. Insightful, warm, funny and compassionate, it will make readers, whether neurotypical or neurodivergent, feel less alone' - Laura Bates, bestselling author of Everyday Sexism

'Weirdness is inescapable, and no one does it better than Robin Ince. A superb book, celebrating the needed weirdness in us all' - Chris Hadfield, astronaut and five-time bestselling author

Outstanding, listen listen now!

This book is absolutely wonderful, important, intelligently written, in a sensitive way, fully inclusive. It will make you laugh big embarrassing guffaws. It will make you feel seen, validated, calm. Well that's how it made me feel. I am delighted and grateful that I found it.
