Edward Hallowell, MD 'Alex is rich, successful and an entertaining and concise communicator. Alex is also very ADHD . You want to read this book for all these reasons. It helps that it is short. ' Kate Spicer 'Truly life changing . The perfect antidote for shame' Samantha Hiew PhD, founder of ADHD Girls 'A powerhouse of a book. Deeply validating' Rich and Roxanne Pink (ADHD Love) 'Thank you, Alex, for making us feel seen, heard and celebrated !' Martine McCutcheon FROM THE HOST OF THE GLOBALLY ACCLAIMED 'ADHD CHATTER' PODCAST Aged just 21, Alex Partridge founded UNILAD and LADBible, social news sites which now have a following of 100 million people around the globe. A legal case over ownership in 2017 tipped him over the edge of the cliff into alcoholism, triggering years of mental health issues until, aged 34, he was diagnosed with ADHD. Now it all makes sense . In his chart-topping podcast, ADHD Chatter, Alex has spoken to dozens of experts on ADHD and related conditions in a bid to understand and improve outcomes for the neurodiverse population - and this groundbreaking book brings them all together, for the first time, in one place. A blend of lived experience and expert insight, this deep dive into ADHD has the power to change your life. If you've ever wondered why you can't remember those critical appointments, how you can be hyper-focused one minute and down a YouTube rabbit-hole 30 seconds later, or why do people walk so slowly? then this relatable and unashamedly honest book is for you. Written with Alex's trademark raw vulnerability, Now It All Makes Sense distils the essence of all the most important need-to-knows, from parenting with (and for) ADHD, to managing your mental health, your finances and even your shopping list. Most importantly it celebrates the opportunities and strengths, unique skillsets and positive traits of ADHD to remind you that you are NOT broken - and you are enough. Read more
