Join Robin Ince at Beeston Library as he talks about his new book Normally Weird and Weirdly Normal: My Adventures in Neurodiversity.
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, 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.
Robin uses his own experiences to explore the neurodivergent experience and to ask what the point of “being normal” really is.
Robin Ince will also be speaking at Five Leaves Bookshop in Nottingham at 7pm that evening, details and bookings here
