About this listen
THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER
'Insightful and compassionate. This will help a lot of people' Matt Haig
'One of the most complete and moving accounts I've ever read... On behalf of all of us who grope toward understanding, thank you, Mr Partridge; thank you, thank you, thank you.' 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.

ADHD is one of the most common neurological disorders in the United States—yet a staggering 75 percent of girls and women remain undiagnosed. Due to the gender gap in medical research, which does not account for symptoms manifesting differently in women—leading to increased problems with anxiety, depression, working memory, sleep, energy, and concentration—many ADHD women are left to navigate a society that fails to understand their struggles and gifts.

She lost things constantly, couldn’t finish projects, and felt like she was putting more effort in than everyone around her while falling further and further behind. At thirty-two years old—broke, divorced, and living with her mom—Jessica decided to look more deeply into her ADHD challenges. She reached out to experts, devoured articles, and shared her discoveries on YouTube.

ADHD is one of the most common neurological disorders in the United States—yet a staggering 75 percent of girls and women remain undiagnosed. Due to the gender gap in medical research, which does not account for symptoms manifesting differently in women—leading to increased problems with anxiety, depression, working memory, sleep, energy, and concentration—many ADHD women are left to navigate a society that fails to understand their struggles and gifts.

Ever feel like ADHD advice was written for everyone… except you? Have you tried all the "proven" ADHD strategies for adults and still feel like you're falling behind? Does every planner, system, or ADHD workbook promise life-changing results—yet somehow, they never work for you? Do you feel like no matter how hard you try, life is just harder with an ADHD brain? If you answered yes, you're not alone. Let’s be real: ADHD isn’t one-size-fits-all. And most advice out there? It’s not built for the way neurodivergent minds actually work.

Pointing out the traits & hacks of adhd that I could 100% relate to.
I didn't dislike anything. I thoroughly enjoyed hearing so many behaviors that I've always done but never knew why. Realizing I've known I was different and receiving my diagnosis as a 27 female (14yrs ago) but not really understanding WHAT was different & how to adapt in a neurotypical world (that wasn't a standard word back then). I just knew I had adhd so bad I practically fell off the chart. This book has put a spotlight on all the things & made me feel lightyears better about my struggles, put a name to RSD because that's so very real, and allowed me to realize I do accomplish many things it just doesn't look like "typical" ppl. This book made me laugh and also brought tears realizing I really don't like certain adhd traits and always wishing I could change them but try as I might I never could be "good enough". I'm now realizing I didn't need to be good enough for "them" when I was good enough for ME. It is the other person's loss that they can't see through the nuances, not mine. I am thankful for this book and will be buying a hardcopy for reference and to let ppl borrow and probably listen to it again on audible to drive these points home. Thanks Alex for staying hyper focused and not giving up. -Bina

This book changed my life
I got diagnosed with ADHD this year at age 34. I’ve been reading about ADHD since. A friend of mine shared a reel about this book so I decided to give it a try. Man, am I so glad she sent that reel. This book single-handedly changed my life and though I did listen to it on Audible I recently purchased two paperback copies. One for myself that I can highlight all the amazing tips and advice, and another that I can lend to my ADHD friends. Thank you Alex so much for writing this book. If you have ADHD, I cannot recommend this book enough.

You’re a flippin hero to me and clearly many others. Thank you from the bottom of my 52 year old misunderstood & frustrated heart for articulating my thoughts and feelings in such a relatable way! You’ve helped me to not only understand that all this stuff I’ve struggled with aren’t moral failings, but given me hope and the ability to finally thrive!

Inspiring and practical
I’m quite a fan of Alex Partridge and follow on social media. Someone who’s been recently diagnosed with ADHD in their late 40s but always aware of it. I think it’s massively important to both raise awareness that it is not just being a middle class and thinky - but actually an exhausting every day struggle. Alex’s descriptions of some of the things he has faced and most importantly, some of the solutions that he’s found to thrive both resonate and actually help. I’ll finish this review now before I get distracted on a side quest oh look that’s an interesting coloured bird.
