As a project manager attempting to chase my dreams of product design and game creation, my life took an (only slightly) unexpected turn when I was diagnosed with ADHD and ASD as an adult. Finally having a name for things that had been unnamed specters my whole life, I found myself in search of resources to help me navigate these challenges in more positive ways than I had ever done before and discovered that finding such support wasn’t always easy. Not one to let a challenge pass by without an attempt, I decided to create a positive space where others could share their experiences and find valuable information related to ADHD/ASD.
Hoardlings was born as a dedicated blog aimed at providing resources for individuals with ADHD and ASD while also sharing uplifting stories and spreading positivity. However, as I grew my circle of friends online that shared similar ideas or even stories of needing a place to feel at home online, I realized that there was more I wanted to offer than just a blog. I sought to create a space where people could connect, grow, and find joy in their unique identities.
The concept of “hoardlings” originated from a TikTok skit by content creator @dndhart (don’t forget to show her some love! linktr.ee/dndhart ). The idea resonated with me as it represented the notion that people are precious and valuable simply for being themselves. This inspired the creation of our lovable little creature, hidden under its sheets while seeking out adventure and joy in everyday life.
At Hoardlings, we believe that everyone has limitless potential just waiting to be discovered and realized. Our mission is to bring together useful information about tools, resources, and stories that can help make life a bit easier for our community members. We also want to uplift and promote small creators business within our community, working from within to spread joy.
In essence, Hoardlings is a place where we celebrate the unique talents and strengths of every individual while fostering a sense of belonging and support. By sharing our stories, experiences, and joys, we hope to spread fun and simple joy throughout the world. Together, let’s embrace our inner hoardlings and discover the potential within us all!
