Important reminder!
Regression does not equal baby. Regressing is not always bottles and sippy cups and pacifiers.
I think it's easy to feel like you're doing it wrong sometimes, to feel frustrated, in a community where younger regressors are the norm.
You can regress to any age or age range. Baby, kid, teen, young adult, or even a mix of them. You're not doing it wrong. And you don't have to make yourself fit into other boxes that don't fit you.
Your experience is valid, regardless of what's common to see online.

want talk this while kind of able to. wish agere community at least here more diverse accessible. feel so sanitized. when lux regress barely able function anymore, everything feel harder stressful but harder get care. and not see lot disable agere content. if anything agere content very inaccessible. typing quirks (not refer to misspell thing not able control, refer to how choose type) dni banners but no image id alt text or below thing, when good do both. many many moodboard outfit board no image id.
if this hard hear, encourage hear because this important: agere not just for able people/low support need people.
plain text: agere not just for able people/low support need people.
there going be disable people left out of community for coping mechanism if people keep go like this, like disable people rare enough not pay attention to. am mostly abled and still feel out of place.
and please for love of god stop use “nonverbal” if mean go mute, nonverbal people say LOT about how this not good thing do and every time see in fic or headcanon want throw something. blogs @/birdofmay @/gwydion-aacblog have more information.
not have to reblog, not bad person if not reblog, but especially if abled regressor, would really like if do reblog.

here are some descriptions of developmental milestones at various ages to help you pinpoint to what age you regress. sources: mixture of webmd, the cdc, speech and language kids, and parents.com

Tumblr media
This was created as a general guide to help age regressors learn more about psychosocial development at pre-school (and pre-long term memory) ages.
Don’t forget that your regression doesn’t have to fit “the norm”; just like in initial childhood development, everyone is different. You can, of course, use any toys or tools you feel are appropriate for your situation.
Let me know if you have questions, or want me to do a continuation with older ages. :)

I see posts about being an autistic adult who still sleeps with plushies and those are lovely but I sometimes wish I'd see ones about wishing you could sleep with plushies or other comforters but it being a sensory nightmare for you? So here's to the people who love their plushies but can't sleep with them, for sensory or other reasons. Your plushies still love you all the same.

tips for depressed, chronically ill, & disabled littles
it can sometimes be hard to feel little when you spend a lot of time in pain, bedridden, dealing with scary big thoughts, or any of the other things that can accompany mental or physical disabilities so these are things i do to feel small with little effort
ᯓ★ keep soft blankets + stuffies near you
literally what’s smaller than having your soft little comfort plushes with you? this is probably the easiest thing i do that always makes me feel at least a little smaller
ᯓ★ download mobile games for kids
if you aren’t someone who can get up and down off the floor or if you’re in a lot of pain, or if its just a rough day and you want to stay in bed little kid games are good for feeling tiny
ᯓ★ play baby music or soft lullabies
if you’re not feeling up to playing at all and just need to rest lullabies and nursery rhymes are rlly good for helping you rest and helping you feel tiny
ᯓ★ age regression fanfic
this might sound silly by at a little with chronic pain something that genuinely helps me is mood boards, one shots, etc. about my favorite fictional cgs
ᯓ★ think of your ‘lazy’ clothes as baby clothes
toddlers and babies are almost always dressed in comfy soft clothes so if you’re always in your soft sweatpants or cozy pjs to alleviate discomfort it’s just like little kids getting dressed in their soft little clothes
ᯓ★ middle regression is always an option
if you’re worried about regressing because you have to take care of yourself (ex. handle a walking aid, medicine, etc.) middle regression is super accessible because you can be regressed and do a lot of the things big you can already do
middle regression can also entail less rambunctious/active play (videos games, reading, coloring, etc.)
ᯓ★ audio books
if you look up ‘audio kids books’ or some form of that on youtube you can find kids stories read aloud! its something super fun that can make you feel small and you can do it anywhere at anytime.
ᯓ★ calming kids activities
there are a whole bunch of websites that have ‘calm down’ activities for when kids are winding down from rambunctious play and i use those a lot (playing with play dough, sensory toys, singing abcs/nursery rhyme games)
ᯓ★ remember not all regression looks the same
you don’t have to do anything to be small or to be valid as a regressor, regression looks different for everyone. there are ppl who regress and watch horror movies or ppl who regress while doing big kid things like going to the store or to school. your disability, no matter what form it comes in, does not invalidate your regression.
these are some of the things that i do, feel free to add more if you’re a little with disabilities, ily!!!!

Seeing people have in their DNI's: "If you're over 25 years old"
Is...is that the overall limit to how old you can be before regressing is weird or something or....? Cause I turn 26 at the end of this month and I'm kinda scared I'll get outcasted-
