steve rogers as a caregiver to a sick/chronically ill regressor <3

x

────────────────────────

꒰ 🧺 ꒱ getting sad because you realize you were never allowed to be a child and now you have to regress just to try and feel what you should’ve had

꒰ 🌲 ꒱ being overly shy / anxious around cg’s cause you were never shown that type of affection :’)

꒰ 🧚‍♂️ ꒱ just wanting to be shown that you are genuinely cared for ,, we weren’t shown that enough

꒰ 🍓 ꒱ feeling scared / unsettled / an obscure amount of anxiety when regressed for no specific reason

꒰ 🧺 ꒱ having issues with trusting cg’s

꒰ 🌲 ꒱ not wanting a cg because of uncertainty

꒰ 🧚‍♂️ ꒱ fussing / tantrums / bratty moments that aren’t on purpose

꒰ 🍓 ꒱ agere feeling so hopeless after awhile because you shouldn’t have to relive your childhood ,, it should’ve been enough then

• i love how echolalia turns into play (quoting shows, copying tones, animal noises, favorite words)🎧

• i love how stimming and regression blend together like for me oral stimming with a paci🍼

• i love how routines & sameness can become part of regression

• i love how sameness doesn’t feel boring it feels safe in age re🧸

• i love how we build very specific little setups exactly how we need them & that’s what lets us relax

• i love how regression can make the world feel more predictable when everything else feels too loud or confusing!!!🫠

• i love how special interests come into regression with us

• i love how we can play by lining things up, sorting, stacking, repeating & that is real play!

• i love how parallel play feels natural for us just existing near someone safely without pressure :) age re really allows for this even in online spaces🫂

• i love how our “little selves” aren’t always fully different from our big selves but i also love when they are

• i love how we can be extremely sensitive to many things and how regression can soften that intensity (sometimes at least… lol)

• i love how certain textures can instantly calm us

• i love how safe foods can become grounding rituals

• i love how our bodies show our feelings more

• i love how some of us need more support when regressed and some don’t & neither is “better” (this goes for not regressed too)🩷

• i love how regression can be the only time we feel fully unmasked 🎭

• and that it exists as a space where we don’t have to perform

• i love how trust means everything (who we regress around, who sees us like that)💖

• i love being an autistic age regressor!

• i love that even when i get overwhelmed i have a space in myself that at times feels gentler even with big upset feelings

• i love the autism spectrum and community♾️

• i love that i have seen so many of us in age re spaces

• i love us even though sometimes it’s the hardest thing to deal with!❤️‍🩹
