Hiii! So this is actually a question I get alot in my dms so I thought this would be a great opportunity to adress it here! In my opinion and understanding one can not become a permaregressor.Because being a permaregressor implies being emotionally or mentally stunted to a younger age NOT by choice. This can be feeling generally younger, ageless with a child lean, younger to a specific age, or specific time period in your like like tween or baby. USALLY being a permaregressor is caused by truama,brain damage, or being neurodivergent.Also many permaregressors are able to live a pretty normal life, we typically still go to school,drive,work ect with the help of masking for the most part. For many of us we are capable of looking after our selfs and function like a typical adult would.Being a permaregressor dosent necessarily imply constantly doing things like useing a paci,playing with toys, or being caregived . But thats not the reality of all permaregressors, some need extra accommodations and help because of being age stunted, due to it limiting some of their abilities to function. If you what you really want is to live a more agere centered life style I suggest becoming a permadreamer or permakid. These are people who are permanently childlike, with agere/agedre being a core part of their identity. This includes it affecting things like relationships,spending habits,copeing skills,aesthetics,hobbies,intrest,ect. Hope this helped! Have a wonderful day!

Older caregivers aren't creeps.

Older babysitters aren't creeps.

Older flips aren't creeps.

Older pets aren't creeps.

Older regressors aren't creeps.

Older dreamers aren't creeps.

A reminder that sadly age regression as a whole is and will likely always be see as a “weird taboo” thing to others.

So dunking on other regressors for using / needing padding to feel superior or “less cringe”isn’t cool at all. Many disabled regressors also use them medically and need them, excluding and shaming those within our community isn’t okay!

big kids and middle/teen regressors who use pacis or go padded or use kid-safe cutlery and dishes... little kids who like scary media or 'higher level' educational content or super loud angry music... big kids who wanna be coddled or listen to lullabies and watch shows like bluey... little kids who swear or wanna be independent and get their own food and drink... and everyone else !!!

Reminder that rules for playing r made up

You are allowed to :

Have stuffies with no names/personalities

Have stuffies who are just toys and you dont see them as friends or sibbies or alive etc

Have one stuffie whose soul/name goes in between plushies!! I do this a lot because my main comfort plushie is too big to take with me so her soul can move between plushies :] sometimes she is a dog, sometimes she is a monkey, sometimes she is a giraffe...

Have multiple doubles of the same kind of toy

People whose toys have toys (i.e. my doll has plushies!)

Prefer dolls or figurines or other hard plastic toys rather than soft plushies

Keep your toys on display and dont really take them down or physically play with them (they dont mind this!! In fact they enjoy relaxing :] )

Give names/personalities to toys that technically wouldnt have them (like cars)

Form bonds or play with things that aren't toys, like sticks, pet rocks, etc, or even electronics like phones or laptops!

Also, touching on the theme from earlier, people who dont have typical rules for toys, such as: my toy can come with me in spirit even if I cant actually bring them, my toy and I communicate telepathically or in another nonverbal way, my plushie's soul isnt bound to a plush body and can jump into electronics or figurines, etc

Customize your toys with paint, patches, embroidery, dye, etc

Accessorise your toys or make them clothes and that's how you play with them !!

Prefer not to play with others, or for people to not touch your toys! That's very fair!

Have toys who are characters from a specific media, but you customize them to make them look different, give them a different name, give them a different story, etc

🐅 . . . ☆ Yes autistic play looks different, but "different" doesn't just mean the "amount of weird the public can tolerate", and play can be anything!! The idea is that it's fun for YOU ( nd whoever else plays with you! ) What doesn't look fun to you might be a blast for someone else ! Keeping an open mind will make playing fun !

Remember to share and keep gentle hands with others things, and also to be kind about the way that others play!! Our differences make us good friends :] 🦋

☆ ~`` What are some of the ways YOU play differently than others? ``

. . . Hint: the ones in purple apply to me !!

i feel talkative today so this goes out to older regressors

regressors who may be in their 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s etc. i love u all so much and i am so sorry the agere space can be excluding to u at times🫂

u all r just as sweet just as adorable just as tiny and cute as anyone else here and i am scooping u up as we speak and i hope u all feel more comfortable taking up more space online bc u should be! 🫶 theres nothing wrong or gross about u for merely having been around this planet longer than someone else

i love you, littles who are their own caregiver

i love you, littles with a fictional caregiver

i love you, littles with a caregiver in headspace

i love you, littles with a stuffie caregiver

i love you, littles with an imaginary caregiver

i love you, littles who don't want a caregiver

i love you, littles who don't need a caregiver but still want one

Day 5(but its late im doing 2 today): Favorite animated show! I chose Ruby Gloom !

Friendly reminder my little bunnies there is no wrong way to play! Alot of people talk about relearning how to play and it can be a long irritating process! But please remember learning how to play dosent mean learing to like a certain type of play but learning how YOU like to play. If your having a hard time and arent haveing fun with one type of play move onto another and try something new!For a while I thought I was odd for not likeing pretend play and thought I had to learn to like it. But through learning how I like to play and what i respond to more positively was sensory play! Play can look like alot of things other then just imaginary play. This can look like scavenger hunts,hands on play like chalk,blocks,and building toys. Sorting by color,number,or shape. Visual stim toys and sensory toys. I feel like im haveing the most fun when small when I get to feel all diffrent types of sensory sensations. Compared to things like tea parties. So remember friends there is no wrong way to play!
