Clutter & Materialism

I have realized how much clutter and items both mean alot to me and also affect me in so many different ways.

Many people in my life have been close to hoarders but not quite to the extreme of many hoarders, just in a messy sense, not a messy and dirty sense.

I have created an attachment to a lot of my things (my old art, books, clothing, etc.) because I’ve moved a lot and also am adopted so I’m worried I will forget everything one day and very much cherish especially the things from before my adoption when I turned 6 years old.

I want to be more of a minimalist and I don’t really attach myself to more recent items, aside from essentials for living and such. But some things I can’t get rid of no matter what, like my photos from when I was a baby up to when I was adopted, my gameboy games, and anything related to my early childhood.

I don’t mind keeping this stuff of course, I guess I’m just worried about what people would do with it once I died, though I guess because I’d be dead it wouldn’t really matter? Idk.

My bio grandma collected a lot of trinkets and horse carousels and I would like to do the same eventually in her memory, as well as other things cause I’m like a crow, I like collecting things with meaning to me, especially coins and have been curious about bone collecting.

My adoptive mom is the same way, she would have a bunch of things back then and every time I cleaned, it seemed to get messy nearly immediately and it would take hours to clean if someone came over. It was so overwhelming, but I also had my own issues. I had things I’ve collected over my childhood that I kept in my walk in closet, but it was so full that I couldn’t walk in it. It eventually became a grounds for mice, which led to a mouse and flea infestation, making me have a phobia of fleas and pretty sure I am allergic to them.

Now I’m super cautious about what I keep and what I do keep I keep either with me in eyesight or closed up in totes where they won’t be chewed through.

I’m blabbering on but its just an experience I haven’t seen many others have.

But because aside from maybe fostering and adopting later on if that is something I want to do, I don’t plan on having any kids aside from furbabies so my items wouldn’t go to them. My bio family is full of kids so I could give it to them, but I’m not very close to any of them really.

Idk, its just a thought I’m having currently, not sure what it all means.

Shout out to all my fellow bitches with Fluency Disorders

[esperantoauthor]

Esp! I'm sending glee related asks (and I can send you one too : ) ) But I thought I'd ask, SLPA-to-SLP, what was the most niche or relatively unknown communication or speech disorder you learned about?

I think cluttering is pretty niche, even if it isn’t extraordinarily rare (1-2% in the school-age population).  While nearly everyone has heard of stuttering, cluttering is quite unknown. Not to someone in our field, of course, but I think very few people outside the speech world have heard of it. I’ve never personally worked with someone diagnosed with cluttering but I did have one kid I saw early in my training that in retrospect I think may have had it. While stuttering is characterized by “less typical” disfluencies such as prolongations, blocks, and sound/syllable/word repetitions, cluttering is characterized by rapid rate of speech and omission of syllables. For example, someone with cluttering might say “I wanwatevision” rather than “I want to watch television.” 

Most of the truly rare things I’ve encountered have been genetic or neurological conditions that affect communication but are not themselves communication disorders. I had a student with tuberous sclerosis which is a rare genetic disorder present in .01% of the population which causes benign tumors to form all over the body, which leads to a wide range of difficulties. My former student has tumors growing in his brain so he had significant learning and language challenges.
