AGE regression

I’ve noticed that some people have certain expectations when it comes to age regression. That it has to be perfectly neat and aesthetic and controllable and fit into a specific age box. This is very often not the case.

Different people experience age regression differently. If you know exactly what age you regress to, that is perfectly fine. However, not everyone will know.

Some people regress because they find comfort in their childhood. They may find different aspects comforting and familiar all at once; and combine concepts, objects, and ideas which technically fit different age groups.

Other people will regress due to trauma, and their regression will result in a similar mixture of things they missed out on. It is not uncommon to try and recreate a childhood made up of all the best bits, or all the things you missed out on.

If diapers make you comfortable, wear them! If coloring books or pacifiers make you happy, use them! Take a bubble bath, play a video game! Do whatever it is that makes you happy.

Worrying about maintaining a perfect aesthetic is unnecessary. It is not the experience of everyone. If something that seems outside of the range, but makes you happy, go for it! Nothing is stopping you, and you aren’t hurting anyone!

so much love to regressors who feel like they have fallen behind their peers. you’re on no one’s time but your own and you don’t need to feel like you’re trying to keep up with anyone.

there’s something so bittersweet about being an age regressor in a toy store. Going down aisles and carefully tracing the packaging of all these different playsets and dolls. All of the things I never got to play with as a child.

Yearning so terribly to pull open these colourful boxes and play to your heart’s content. Choosing my favourite little figure and walking them from room to plastic room. Mind fizzing with ideas and games.

But instead i stand apprehensively, are people staring at me? Do they think it’s weird that I’m here? I put the box down, even when a kindly worker approaches and asks if I need any help finding what I need today.

“Oh sorry no it’s not for me, it’s for my baby sibling.”

Every time.

How do I know if I am an Age Regressor?

Hello my cookies! If you are anything like me, you may have questioned at some point if you truly are an age regressor or not. Thankfully, there is no wrong or right way to regress, but for those of you who may be wondering if you are a regressor, here are some things to be aware of if you are questioning!

🫧 Comfort in Childlike Activities: If you find solace or joy in engaging in activities traditionally associated with children, like coloring, playing with toys, or watching cartoons, you might be an age regressor. These activities can bring a sense of calm and security.

🫧 Seeking Out Caretakers: You might feel a strong desire for someone to take on a caretaker role, providing comfort, guidance, or nurturing. This could be a sign that you experience regression as a way to feel safe and protected.

🫧 Emotional Shifts: Age regression can manifest during times of stress, anxiety, or emotional overwhelm. You might notice that you revert to a younger state of mind when you feel vulnerable or uncertain.

🫧 Change in Language or Behavior: You might notice that your language, tone, or even the way you express yourself changes when you regress. This could include using simpler language, baby talk, or feeling more playful and carefree.

🫧 Preference for Comfort Items: If you find comfort in items like stuffed animals, blankets, pacifiers, or certain types of clothing, these could be significant indicators of age regression. These items often provide a sense of safety or nostalgia.

🫧 Feeling Younger Mentally: You may sometimes feel younger than your actual age, particularly in your thought processes or emotional responses. This could be a sign that you are experiencing age regression.

🫧 Awareness of Triggers: Certain situations, environments, or people might trigger a regressive state. Being aware of what prompts these feelings can help you understand if you’re an age regressor.

🫧 Sense of Relief or Escape: Regression might feel like a way to escape the pressures of adulthood or to relieve stress. If you find yourself regressing to cope with difficult situations, it could be a natural response for you.

🫧 Self-Awareness and Acceptance: Lastly, recognizing and accepting that you might regress can be key. If you identify with these points and feel that regression is a part of who you are, you might be an age regressor. It’s important to remember that this is a valid and personal experience.

And lastly, some good things that could signify that you may be an age regressor!

🫧 Joy in playing with toys or games

🫧 Excitement over simple pleasures like ice cream or cartoons

🫧 Delight in wearing cozy, childlike clothing

🫧 Contentment in cuddling with stuffed animals

🫧 Happiness when coloring or drawing

🫧 Laughter from silly or playful behavior

🫧 Feeling carefree and lighthearted

🫧 Enjoyment of being silly or imaginative

I hope these help!

Oh the autistic hatred towards being infantilized (being told I can’t do something, I’m not old enough, I shouldn’t try a difficult task because I’ll get hurt, being expected to like something just because it’s childish, being called kid when I’m a fully grown adult, having my feelings constantly disregarded and ignored because I’m “too sensitive”, being made fun of for wanting to follow the basic social rules we learned about as children, being made fun of for holding onto things I loved as a kid, etc)

…vs the joy of autistic regression (pacing to music I’ve loved since I was little, finding stuffed animals with the perfect textures, chewing on pacifiers instead of my cheeks, regressing after a meltdown to soothe myself, enjoying media where people are kind to each other and follow rules, regressing to whatever media I want because I don’t care about or understand why society thinks I shouldn’t, decorating everything however I want to, wearing colorful, cute clothes and accessories, nesting with plushies and all of my essentials, buying back toys I lost to keep them safe this time)
