The Spoon Theory Workbook

A 57-page workbook that adapts spoon theory for use in clinical and coaching settings with autistic and ADHD clients.

Spoon theory has long been used in disability communities as a way to describe energy limits and the realities of living with chronic illness, pain, or fatigue. This edition adapts the framework for neurodivergent contexts, offering tools for exploring burnout, pacing, and self-regulation with your clients.

With a highly visual, interactive PDF, this workbook provides structure for conversations about energy, capacity, and limits. It can help clients notice patterns, language their lived experiences, and experiment with practical strategies—all while fostering self-understanding and compassion.
