Description

If you haven’t heard of spoon theory, it’s a metaphor for understanding our capacity to do things. Today, we will dig into what spoon theory is and how it can help us, as neurodivergent people or parents of neurodivergent people, understand the finite energy we have to accomplish things each day.
