Do you hoard things?

Hello everyone!

How are you doing today? 😊

Hoarding is the act of accumulating and persistently holding onto an excessive quantity of possessions, often resulting in cluttered living spaces. It can be driven by various factors, including emotional attachment, neuro-divergent conditions, or mental health challenges, leading to difficulties discarding items and maintaining organized environments.

Executive dysfunction stemming from autism may lead to overwhelm and avoidance. People with autism may, therefore, feel a compelling sensory-driven need to collect items tied to their special interests, influenced by autism's traits of strong attachment, creativity, and heightened enthusiasm.
