Why I wrote and drew Spoonie Wisdom

If you are in or adjacent to the disability community, you may have heard of something called Spoon Theory.

Coined by Christine Miserandino in 2003, Spoon Theory has been widely embraced by the disability community and we often refer to ourselves as 'Spoonies'.

You may have even seen these on social media, where people might say, 'hey Spoonies, how do you... xyz'.

I have been part of the disability community all my life, but I'm late identified in my diagnoses. Without diagnosis and understanding, we face a lot of judgement when we cannot accomplish the tasks that others think we 'should.'

This book speaks back to the shoulds. It provides gentle reminders that you can say no, that rest is a right, and that you are enough every day, whatever capacity you wake up with.

Written and drawn by a Spoonie, for Spoonies, and those who love them.
