Ticket Theory, Monotropism & Burnout: Autistic ADHD Energy Accounting

Published 3 days ago • 1 min read

Hello,
​
A new blog and free pay what you can resource!
​
​Ticket Theory, Monotropism & Burnout: Autistic ADHD Energy Accounting 🎟️
​

Have you come across Ticket Theory?
​
Hilary Knutson’s funfair idea, shared by @Neuro Pride Ireland, explains why some tasks never get a ticket while our passions arrive in generous bundles.
​
I’ve written about how it connects with monotropism, spiky profiles, Autistic inertia and burnout.
​
I hope it helps some families!
​
An alternative to spoon theory for monotropic people!
​
There’s a free how-to-use guide and a printable pack of 40 tickets (pay what you can, suggested £2).
