About this listen

'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)

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.

Superb!

Encouraging business insight. I think I might just do a "business journal'.

Generally helpful counsel.

Audio quality high, but not 100%.

Wonderful contribution to the community.

Dense with suggestions. I will listen to this more than once.

Enjoy, friends!

Like a light bulb switching on

The book is a layman’s terms way of looking at ADHD its its extraordinary affects on the lives of those with it.
It’s made realise I am more than enough and I always was.

THANK YOU

It felt like Alex had climbed into my brain and told my own story at points.
I finally felt heard and understood and not alone. I sobbed from the recognition of it all, and the knowledge that I am not just some over emotional, lazy weirdo with crazy issues and ideas who can never follow through with things.
It has given me so much insight, and ideas that I will be using to help myself.
I just need to find a way to get my partner to be open to listening to or reading this book so they can better understand me (they don't believe in ADHD) but I feel if they read/listened to this book they would see so much of me they would no longer be able to deny it, and we could make our relationship so much better for both us and our child (who likely has ADHD themself).
Thank you Alex, from the bottom of my heart.

Honest and so helpful

I absolutely loved this book, thank you so much for writing it and also for making it into an audiobook for us ADHDers to consume more easily. Your openness, honesty, and helpful tips will be immensely helpful for many of us. I appreciate every bit of work that you have done in the ADHD space, it is helping me more than you will ever know. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Amazing!!!

The best ADHD book I have read to date. Alex bravely details the struggles he has endured, without shame. He offers guidance from professionals he has spoken to on his podcast and embeds amazing hacks, strategies and solutions that have worked for him.
My only gripe is that I wish I'd ordered a physical copy instead of an audiobook as I can't remember any of the strategies (tell me you have ADHD without telling me you have ADHD!!)

Now it really does make sense

Alex has the strength to tell his own story and combine it with all the knowledge gained from his podcast interviews with ADHD experts

It's all making sense at last

I like Alex's work. He's single handedly given me the missing key to a door I was unable to see. I'm eternally grateful for his approach and dedication to this work, which will help so many of us who feel strange or different. Thank you Alex.
