#neurodivergent age regression

[octal-codes]

Shout out to autistics who:

Don't know much about their special interests

Likes food commonly disliked by other autistics

Dislikes food commonly liked by other autistics

Enjoy social settings

Use sign language as their primary form of communication

Use diapers or have troubles with toileting

Like childish things or age regress

Are unable to work

Are unable to figure out their gender

[oilith]

Don't laugh at people or mock people who are "childish". People are allowed to like things that are considered "childish". Toys, kids cartoons, anything like that can be a valuable source of comfort for the people who like them. It's important to have things in life that make you happy, and without them it gets miserable. Wether that thing is stuffed animals or cooking or writing lyrics, what's important is that others don't ridicule and belittle them for it. There shouldn't be such judgement for the things that make people happy.

Shoutout to the freaks . Shoutout to the little girls who flew through books quicker than any adult could because she didn’t know how to have friends . Shout out to the little boys who liked to play with dolls and took one to show and tell and learned that adults aren’t kind . Shoutout to the therians . Shoutout to the furries . Shoutout to the people who draw themselves with fictional characters . Shoutout to the autistics with “creepy” or “concerning” interests . Shout out to the people who were told something about them was unnatural or gross . Shoutout to the littles who don’t regress in sunshine and rainbows . Shoutout to anyone who was called weird in middle school . We are freaks . We are strange . And to be honest , I like making them stare .

Age Regression takes many forms.

Extra big shoutout and lots of love to my regressors who don’t have ’typical, active’ pastimes while regressed.

The regressors who don’t crawl on the floor with their toys because they have chronic pain

The trauma regressors who are burnt out by their regression

Littles with sleep disorders, disabilities, or other circumstances that leave them always too tired to play

Littles who live in hostile situations that prevent them from feeling safe enough to enjoy activities

Regressors who have allergies, autoimmune, ED, digestive problems, or other conditions that prevent them from having typical ‘kid snacks’

Littles with depression, primarily impure regression, have tantrums, or other emotional dysregulation that makes them unhappy when regressed

Physically disabled regressors who can’t run around outside and/or don’t have accessible park equipment

Neurodivergent Littles who find certain play and activities uncomfortable for whatever reason

Regressors who struggle with psychosis, delusions, or intrusive thoughts—especially scary ones

Littles who are frequently hospitalized, have to undergo procedures, and/or take medications that make regression difficult

Regressors who can’t afford to buy gear

Littled with disabilities, chronic pain or illness, and autoimmune disorders that leave them constantly feeling sick

Whether it’s due to a disability, chronic pain, depression, living situations, etc, regression is different for everyone, and that should be recognized. Whatever it is, your regression is valid and important. You are welcome here and you are a valued me ever of the community, even if your little space doesn’t look the same as someone else’s. So much of agere is advertised around things like playing with toys, going to the park, having snacks, etc. But that’s not how regression works for everyone, and their experiences shouldn’t be erased because they aren’t a certain ‘aesthetic.’

In fact, you’re really awesome, brave, and strong—and I’m proud of you! Keep on regressing, everyone!

Do you ever mask all day and when you're home you have to get it all out, so you stim so much that you end up being so exhausted than you go straight to bed? 💀

kinda like

KINDA ALMOST LIKE AGE REGRESSION IS A COMMON SYMPTOM/EXPERIENCE OF NEURODIVERGENCE AND IT SHOULDN'T BE GROUNDS TO SHUN SOMEONE FROM SOCIETY BECAUSE THAT'S JUST *ABLEISM*

✨🧸 Neurodivergent Regressor flag (please reblog if you save)! 🧸✨

As a regressor who is exploring their own neurodivergence, I wished to create a flag to represent that. Thank you everyone who shared your input to help me bring this idea to life! If you don’t feel accurately represented by this, please feel free to design a flag that suits your experience best!

The various stripes are meant to represent neurodivergence of all kinds, regressors of all kinds, self love and self care, mental and emotional health, and exploring your regression and neurodivergence.
