I'm learning to be alright with liking "kiddy" things again, without the fear it'll be used against me to limit my freedom.

My parents would see me watching say Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, which has a lot of the humor from classic Disney cartoons, and be like "See you're a kid. You can't do adult things." cause I was Autistic.

Now I get anxious when watching little kid cartoons, cause my mind is programmed to think "Oh s*it! They're going to treat me like I'm 3 again!" When that's not the case.

I'd appreciate any advice on how to counter these thoughts and fears I'll be infantilized again. I still watch cartoons, but like Spongebob. Adult cartoons like Family Guy. So I'm okay with that.
