Overview

Robin Ince discusses his new book Normally Weird and Weirdly Normal, a curious quest into the world of neurodiversity and human behaviour

Robin Ince discusses his new book Normally Weird and Weirdly Normal, a curious quest into the world of neurodiversity.

A warm and witty exploration of human behaviour and what it means to feel a little (or a lot) different, award-winning broadcaster and comedian Robin Ince's latest book Normally Weird and Weirdly Normal is an account of his personal adventures in the wide, weird worlds of anxiety, ADHD and neurodiversity. Loaded with insights, anecdotes and interviews with psychologists, neuroscientists and the many neurodivergent people he has met on the way, Ince puts his own experiences on the table to ask: what if being open about our internal battles wasn't a sign of weakness, but of strength? And what is the point of 'being normal', anyway?

A multi award winning comedian, author, broadcaster, book-lover and populariser of scientific ideas, Robin Ince has written five acclaimed books, including Bibliomaniac and The Importance of Being Interested. He'll be discussing Normally Weird and Weirdly Normal with Margate-based author and activist Ellen Jones, whose own book Outrage: How To Fight for LGBTQ+ Lives is out (and proud) right now.
