You can be exhausted every single day.
Struggling to get dressed. To leave the house. To begin ordinary life.
And still, somehow, never too tired to catch a flight.
For many AuDHD adults, this contradiction becomes a quiet source of guilt and confusion. If tiredness were simply about rest, motivation, or willpower, it wouldn't behave like this. Yet for years, that is how it is often explained - by others, and by ourselves.
Never Too Tired to Catch a Flight explores a kind of exhaustion that is rarely named and often misunderstood. Not the tiredness that follows effort, but the tiredness that exists before anything has begun. The kind that makes everyday life feel heavy, while allowing energy to appear suddenly in certain contexts - travel, urgency, responsibility, being needed.
This book offers a different way of understanding that experience.
Drawing on lived experience, long-term pattern observation, and nervous system science, Agnes Gorgyan explores how energy in AuDHD is not simply something we generate or push through. Instead, it is something we gain access to - or lose - depending on context, certainty, legitimacy, and emotional cost.
Inside the book, you'll find clear, grounded explorations of:
Why everyday tasks can feel harder than major events
Why rest doesn't always restore capacity
Why motivation often fails where authority succeeds
Why energy can be available for others, but disappear when needed for yourself
Why long-term burnout changes how access works
Why tools, routines, and plans may work briefly - and then stop
This is NOT a productivity guide.
It does NOT offer hacks, routines, or quick fixes.
It does NOT promise recovery, optimisation, or transformation.
Instead, it offers something many AuDHD adults have never been given before:
A framework that makes sense of their tiredness without turning it into a personal failure.
Written with care and restraint, this book does not ask the reader to change, improve, or override themselves. It invites understanding - not as a solution, but as a way to stop carrying unnecessary blame.
If you've ever felt exhausted before the day begins, if you've struggled to reconcile your capability with your capacity, or if you've wondered why your energy seems to follow rules no one ever explained, this book was written for you.
From the author of AuDHD: The Words to Describe Your Experience and founder of Chameleons of the Spectrum, Never Too Tired to Catch a Flight continues the work of naming what has long gone unspoken - and offering clarity where there has only ever been confusion.
