The Spoon Theory Workbook

The Spoon Theory Workbook:

Understanding Energy Rhythms as a Neurodivergent Person

📘 A 57-page workbook that reimagines spoon theory through a neurodivergent lens.

Spoon theory has been an anchor in disability communities for years, offering language to describe the limits of energy when living with chronic illness, pain, or fatigue. This workbook adapts that familiar framework specifically for autistic and ADHD experiences.

Inside, you’ll find a highly visual, interactive PDF that invites reflection on your own energy rhythms. Whether you’re navigating chronic illness, burnout, or the daily push-pull of being neurodivergent in a world not built with you in mind, this tool is designed to help you notice patterns, make sense of limits, and care for yourself with more compassion.

• On an iPad or Tablet. You can open the PDF in an app like GoodNotes, Notability or Noteshelf → write directly on the pages with a stylus or keyboard. These apps allow typing, highlighting, and handwriting with an Apple Pencil. You just import your PDF workbook, and it becomes “fillable” by writing or typing.
• On a Computer. If you’re on a computer, you can type your reflections right onto the workbook pages by opening the PDF in Adobe Reader (free) or another PDF viewer. Some people also like to keep a separate digital journal or Word/Google Doc open alongside the workbook, copying over prompts and writing more freely there.
