You do not ever need to feel pressured into caregiving for someone. Just because you’re in the age regression community does not mean you are obligated to caretake or babysit! Yes, this includes for other friends and even your own caregiver.

Additionally, you don’t have to explain your own boundaries or comfort levels.

Your boundaries are important and deserve respect!

hihihi I don't know much about the boys but I would loveeee an age regressor! Soldier Boy/Ben board! with a paci edit if you want please and thank you <3 :] have a lovely day

I didn't expect to get a request for little Soldier Boy/Ben but I'm glad I did! This was very fun to make & I personally love this aesthetic so much :]

Didn't know if you meant a paci edit on the mood-board or if you wanted it as a separate thing but I just made a paci edit of him separately so hopefully that's okay (?▽?◦)

Little Soldier Boy / Ben Paci Icon:

₊˚☆°｡⋆༺✟༻⋆｡°☆˚₊‧

I added a weighted blanket to the mood-board, but I'm not sure if the weight would be comforting or constricting to him. Maybe he would just sleep with no blanket?

I imagine Ben’s regressed age fluctuates… maybe usually six to around the teenage years??? I know that pacifiers don't make too much sense for older regressors but maybe it would be more a comfort thing to him. And that pacifiers would be a good thing to chew, also a thing I Imagine him doing. Since he smokes so much weed to me it makes sense for him to regress to teen years and act... well exactly like himself. Vulgar and rebellious. I also think Ben would have a lot of fidget toys/just fidget with things a lot in general.

I didn't mean to add head-canons to this post but while making the mood-board and paci edit, they kinda just came to me. Tell me if you (dis)agree with my head-canons, or have anymore to add! I'd really love to hear them.

PS. Anyone can use my paci icons by either putting credit in their bio (pfp by @sleepyreese) or by liking and reblogging! ₍ᐢ. ̫.ᐢ₎ (Please like or reblog if you save as well!!!)

Things to Do with Plushies that aren’t Traditional Pretend Play

If you regress/dream to an older age range, you might not play pretend as often, if at all. That said, there’s no reason why you still can’t enjoy your plushies’ company.

Cuddle them as you go to sleep. This one is pretty obvious, but I think it deserves a place on this list.

Make them little Kandi collars with their name in letter beads. You can make a matching bracelet or necklace for yourself too!

On that note, sew clothes for them and dress them up. This one might require some supervision because of the pins and needles, but it’s usually worth it.

Set them up so that they look like they’re doing the same activity as you are. (Putting a controller in front of them if you’re gaming, pretending to feed them bits of your meal, setting them up in front of the TV so they can enjoy the programs with you, etc) This one veers into pretend play, but it’s not as involved so I figured I’d include it.

Put them into your purse/backpack/bag so they can keep you company on your errands or other trips you take.

Set them up in nature or around the house and take photos of them. You can even scrapbook with the photos.

If they are sturdy enough, give them a bubble bath and then either stick them in a pillowcase and put it in the dryer, or air dry them in the sun. This is good for bonding with them, and general maintenance to keep them clean.

Write about them. You can make little character profiles for them, or even full stories! This is good if you have a hard time playing pretend but you still want to feature them in imaginative contexts.

Draw/paint pictures of them and hang them on your wall!

Finally, if this is something you’re up for, set up a side blog for your favorite plushie and document their life online. Make blog posts from their perspective, have them take “selfies” etc!

Have fun with your plushies 💕

This is your daily reminders that regressors can also do adult things. Being an age regressor doesn’t take away from being a grown up who does grown up things. And also, some regressors do not want to be talked down to or infantilized when they’re not small, and that’s entirely okay. 

(Of course this can vary regressor to regressor, and that’s perfectly fine too! Just thought it was an important message to put out there.)

I LOVE MY BF I LOVE MY BF

Last night he was tucking me in and giggled and said "you're so helpless, poor baby can't put her own blankets on. It's so cute how you always ask me to help you"

o(>ω<)o !!!!!!!!

He makes me so happy

My psychiatrist told me that it is super normal for autistic people to not identify with and feel their age, which is more common than you can imagine. So, the next time you, an autistic person, feel strange for being a permanent regressor and not being able to "grow up", know that you are not alone and that it is okay.

Things to Put in a Middle/Kidre Bag

A handheld gaming system like a switch or a DS and some games to play on it

Small toys and trinkets to keep you company while you’re out and about

A digital camera or camcorder, so you can still capture moments without getting distracted by your phone

Comfort items like a fidget, paci, or something like that because even big kids have comfort items

A plushie that’s small enough to fit inside the bag

Yummy snacks like chips or gummies just in case you get hungry

A cool water bottle filled with your favorite drink so you can stay hydrated

Age appropriate makeup (if you wear any)

A sketchbook, notebook, or activity book, and some crayons or pencils to keep you occupied

A small, easy to read chapter book if you’re going on a longer trip

Cute keychains and pin buttons to personalize it and show off your awesome style

Lastly, important stuff like your medicine, wallet, glasses, or emergency supplies

If you can think of anything else, feel free to mention it!

being a middle without someone to care for you whether it be a partner/caregiver/older-sibling type can be really hard. online agere is very centered around toddler regression, and i think the assumption is that middle regressors probably don't need a carer. middle regression can be so lonely, especially when it's "impure regression" that comes with things like depression and other mental health issues. when i regress to that age it's like i'm right back at the stage where i first started to realize that i felt bad mentally, and at the same time didn't know what was happening to me.

when i'm middle regressed (like...a lot) i always think about how nice it would be to have someone to watch gaming play-throughs with, to watch scary pg-13s with, to eat junk food but also be reminded to feed myself properly, to go explore forests and playgrounds and abandoned parking lots with, to skate and draw and play with toys that we're "getting a little old for".

and because it's middle regression and i'm not like, a minor, i'd feel more comfortable with that carer being a bit older than me, at least like 25+. idk, it's like an older sibling type comfort that i've daydreamed about for years. when i was 12, i was a lonely single child and i just wished i had a cool older brother to make me feel safe and hang out with me, waste time at the mall, watch stupid videos etc. anyway sad vent post over, eww i have to go to work. >_<
