I'm ok with spoons! It's very strange, because they have become the standard figure of speech for invisible disabilities. (I heard some people even put a spoon on the Seder plate, to symbolically include people with disabilities. This sounded wrong to me at first, but I can't imagine what else you could use that would fit.)

I am fortunate to have a large set of matching flatware, that includes 18 iced-tea spoons. Each one holds an actual teaspoon, but unlike a measuring-spoon teaspoon it's narrow enough to fit into the top of a spice jar. It took me surprisingly little practice to learn how to measure out a half-teaspoon or quarter-teaspoon of salt with them. But if I didn't have those I'm sure I'd fret about measuring spoons as well because the plastic ones are such a pain to keep track of and wash.
