For a little over a year now, I have worked with a #HoardingSpecialist. This is someone trained according to the #BestPractises of present medical knowledge regarding #HoardingDisorder and provides me hands-on support to reduce and remove items from my unit.

This has been extraordinarily helpful, with one caveat: From my POV, this specialist perspective is not necessarily one informed by the additional complications of #disability.

Some of the issues I face unique to my (or others with similar) disabilities are able to be mitigated by technologies or devices. Purpose-built--IF they exist--are often extraordinarily expensive due to the relvatively miniscule market needing that item.

Classic example: many gadgets people like to make fun of, perhaps uniquely-specific kitchen gadgets, are only availble cheaply because they CAN be sold as a novelty item to many, yet are critically important for a few.
