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.

Goodreads review by Janelle on January 24, 2025

This book definitely covers a lot of tendencies I’ve found with in myself over the years. I teared up a couple of times as it seemed like he was reading a story from my life. However, I also found myself questioning a lot of it. I think ADHD can present differently in different people with different......more

Goodreads review by Nisrine on February 03, 2025

Very validating and helped me understand myself. Knowing that I’m not alone in how I feel/am is a huge thing! Probably a book I will come back to time and time again. Will be purchasing a physical copy!......more

Goodreads review by Alex on February 20, 2025

this was rlly validating of a late diagnosis. This was so relatable & i feel so seen especially with the hyper activity and how exhausting it is for it all to be going on in ur head rather than the more talked abt signs of Adhd which is one of the reasons for such a late diagnosis especially in wome......more

Goodreads review by Liberty on February 12, 2025

4.5/5 rounded down Alex partridge was diagnosed with ADHD at the age of 34, which for a man is quite late in life. Diagnoses of ADHD and other neurodivergence later in life is more common for women. Now it all makes sense is his memoir in which he looks back and reflects on his life, realising moment......more

Goodreads review by Chloe on February 02, 2025

I listened to this as an audiobook narrated by the author which I think enhanced the experience of this book. I had this book recommended to me by someone who has ADHD and suspects I have ADHD. I could definitely relate to a lot of the subjects covered in this book, especially as a (would be) late d......more


Quotes

Alex Partridge has delivered from his copious imagination and bountiful heart a beautiful, brilliant, and honest book that goes far beyond its implied boundary. Once he understood in depth the condition so misleadingly called ADHD [Alex] found sense where before he'd found nonsense, he found meaning where before he'd found the absurd, and he found love where before he'd found awkward distances. Partridge has written one of the most complete and moving accounts I've ever read about coming to terms with ADHD and turning what's advertised as a 'deficit disorder' into a gift which, once unwrapped, lights up darkness wherever darkness lurks. On behalf of all of us who grope toward understanding, thank you, Mr Partridge; thank you, thank you. Edward Hallowell, MD, author of 'ADHD 2.0' and other books

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, Journalist and Presenter

A powerhouse of a book. Deeply validating. Rich and Roxanne Pink (ADHD Love)

This book shows ADHD isn't just for little boys - it's for everyone. From relationships to entrepreneurs, finance to parenting, this provides validation, hope, and clarity for all of us who have felt both 'too much' and 'not enough' as we are. A must-read to connect the dots of ADHD in yourself and others. Leanne Maskell, founder of ADHD Works and Author of 'ADHD: An A to Z'

This book's ability to present an alternative perspective on ADHD, where individuals develop a profound understanding of their neurodiverse brain and recognize its unique advantages, is incredible. Rather than seeing ADHD as something that holds an individual back, it highlights how it can elevate one's capacity to contribute to society. This is a much-needed book in today's world. TJ Power, Neuroscientist

I've learnt so much from Alex and sighed with so many 'A-ha' moments that I haven't seen in books before. Thank you for making us feel seen, heard and celebrated! Martine McCutcheon, Actor and Singer

Truly life changing. The perfect antidote for shame. Samantha Hiew PhD, founder of ADHD Girls
