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.

Thank you for constantly raising awareness about ADHD, but more importantly, raising awareness about women with ADHD. There is still a long way to go for us, especially in the workplace.
Thank you, Alex!

Thank you, Alex, for your vulnerability in sharing your personal stories, spreading awareness, challenging the rigidity of societal stereotypes and stigmas, and inspiring me to unapologetically embrace every aspect of my ADHD brain. We were all made to be different and it’s time that society stops trying to define ‘normal’ and leads with love over fear.
Loved every word!

The whole book was so relatable in everything I have experienced & has motivated me to seek a ADHD diagnosis.
I too always thought ADHD'ers hyperactivity was external & now I know my hyperactivity exists internally, causing me overwhelm & high sensitivity.
Thank you for making me feel like I am enough & to stop seeing myself less capable than others.
I love how my high sensitivity makes me feel so deeply.
I agree that the RSD is the hardest part, but thanks to this book I'm now feeling so much more self awareness during RSD responses & managing it better.

For ADHDers this book will uplift you. It's full of aha moments - a veritable treasure trove of epiphanies! I couldn't put it down and I've been telling everyone to read it.
Alex has written so beautifully about his own experience which, at times, has been so deeply painful and traumatic. He is a remarkable human being and it's a joy to see how he persevered, pushed through and succeeded.
As an ADHDer, this book has taught me so much about how my brain works, and fills me with hope for the future.
