Robin Ince on his adventures in neurodiversity

We welcome Robin Ince back to the bookshop, and doubly welcome him as this talk is in our irregular series of events on neurodiversity.

Robin needs no introduction – literally, as he just launches in when he is ready (one time the bookshop intro person had nipped to the loo and came back to find the event happily going on without his words of welcome!)

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.
