^^^spoons are a recent autism-pertinent meme referring metaphorically to discrete packets or units of energy. a person said to be out of spoons is out of energy. when one runs out of spoons, one can borrow spoons from the next day but then be in energy debt. i was in a lot of energy debt that took me a year to recover from.

Ok.

i hope you have plenty of spoons, you have your work cut out for you.

Spoons are not only about autism, they were originally invented to describe living with lupus.
Generally, they illustrate limited energy to do "normal" things by a person with any disability or chronic illness.

Isabella I'm still thinking of you :heart:
