🃏🤍yesterday wasn't the best day and I was in so much physical pain tonight that I considered going to the hospital...but then I'd have to explain what's actually wrong and I couldn't even figure it out myself.
did I imagine getting cooed at by a fictional cg? maybe.
did it help? a little🤍🦋
Shout out to autistics who:
Don't know much about their special interests
Likes food commonly disliked by other autistics
Dislikes food commonly liked by other autistics
Enjoy social settings
Use sign language as their primary form of communication
Use diapers or have troubles with toileting
Like childish things or age regress
Are unable to work
Are unable to figure out their gender
The little urge to go to a zoo or an aquarium and look at all the pretty animals and fishies and have someone tie my shoes and open my snacks.
The little urge to feel completely comfortable being little and actually be treated like I’m just a tiny kid
The little urge to be pulled around in a little red wagon while I point at all the pretty flowers and say “woaaaahhh” like I’ve never seen it before (even though we just passed 10)
The little urge to be comfy enough to regress around a group of friends (but not leave my cg’s side because how scary would that be!)
The little urge to watch Bluey with my paci in after a long day with some much needed cuddles because it’s such hard work being just a little guy (trust.)
Basically, the little urge to be little
served my duty as an autistic artist and made a bunch of autism creature reaction images
🃏🤍so small, so itty bitty, so silly, the little creature in my head🤍🦋
tips to caring for littles who suffer from:
emotional dysregulation, hyper empathy,
and harsh moodswings !!
• develop grounding techniques to bring your little back to earth when they spiral. (breathing exercises, hand squeezing, observation games, etc.)
• remind them that what they're feeling is only big right now, and will pass.
• offer reassurance and spend time with them. Do not get angry if your little is easily upset or agitated.
• if the source of the moodswing or dysregulation is removable, try to get your little or the cause away from the other.
• find distractions to help your baby cope. (tv, games, toys, coloring, etc.)
• offer to talk with them about their big feelings and / or listen.
• if they're comfortable with it, take over bigger tasks and set down rules to prevent harm. (Ex: earlier bedtimes, no exceptions.)
• show love towards your little, and communicate your feelings aswell.
• encourage your little to be open about their moodswings the moment they have them. Preventing further damage or fear for both parties.
• if your little is experiencing hyper empathy towards another party, assure them they're a good person for feeling on the other's behalf, but remind them that they're their own person.
• if your little is neglecting themselves for others, step in and stop them from doing so if safe.
As someone who experiences big emotions very quickly, and has symptoms of hyper empathy as well as bpd. I have a hard time distinguishing my emotions, I hope this post helps others like me ^^ feel free to add your own tips on!
🤍🃏you're allowed to let your emotions out as long as it doesn't hurt anyone
and you're always allowed to take a break, especially if going on would only hurt you in some way🤍🦋
⭐️ SICK DAY WITH YOUR CG ⭐️
☁️ "aww honey, what's wrong? you don't look too good ... are you feeling ill? i think it's best to stay in today, hm?"
🌷 calling in sick for you at work/school, and reassuring you if you feel bad about it - "you're not lazy, sweetheart, you're ill! you have to rest up so you can get all healthy again, okay? no one's upset with you, baby, let's just have a nice day together until you feel better."
🧸 being put back to sleep if you woke up early, having a lie in and breakfast in bed
🧃 LOTS of tea, water and juice - "drink as much as you can today, okay sunshine? it'll make you feel better!"
📚 "i got you some books from the library! isn't that nice, little one? c'mon, we'll cuddle up in bed and i'll read to you, and you can look at the pretty pictures!"
☀️ going for a short little walk if you have enough energy, and otherwise opening the window for a bit while you're wrapped in thick fluffy blankets, so you can hear the birds
🍎 making you your favourite meals and cutting the food into pieces for you, bringing you your stuffie and an activity book for something to do
🍼 letting you watch tv but also gently monitoring your screen time
🫧 cleaning your face with the softest, warmest washcloth so you feel all clean and fresh without having to actually wash
🌜 going to bed early, being sung to sleep or listening to an audio book, slowly drifting off
🃏🤍screaming, crying, yearning🤍🦋
things little me want >__< ⼺ pic not mine!
𐔌ㅤ SFW INTERACTIONS ONLY
🃏🤍not only would I'd be called out on swearing a bunch but it would be nice to have someone help me regulate my unhealthy food intake before offering me a pretty pink tea and read me to sleep...🤍🦋
fictional cg please become real
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.
🃏🤍my idiot self needed to hear this, daily affirmations fr🤍🦋
even outside of agere adult sized playgrounds would go hard
🃏🤍adult sized playgrounds and those inside playgrounds should be a thing🤍🦋
tw: mentions of neglect/abuse
carer with a traumatized age regressor they know they're helping to heal everytime they slip.
never received toys/were given very few toys as a kid? bubbas spoiling you in all the toys you want! if their kiddo is a little more shy and feeling guilty, they'll notice their little one eyeing a toy. "do you want it puppy? no need to feel bad, i just wanna give you everything you deserve"
went without food in public? carer will always order something for you, you never have to watch them eat while you have nothing. "oh honey I would never~ not only is that mean, but you gotta grow big and strong like me!"
went without food/snacks in private? your caregiver always makes sure they stock up on your favorite snacks and brands- no matter how specific they are. there's no shame in only eating a certain brand or flavor of chips. there's always groceries in the house and they're happy to cook for you, wanting to make sure you're safe AND fed. "are you hungy? I can get my sweetheart their favorite snack until the pastas done?"
had bad physical treatment? they would NEVER even THINK about laying a hand on you. if you misbehave or act up, they understand you're just in littlespace. like real kids, emotions can be hard and some moments arent good. sometimes kids like to test boundaries, there's nothing wrong with that. they won't let it slide and will issue lines, time outs, and stuff like early bedtime or shorter playtime- but nothing physical or mentally damaging. "angel I know you're all upset and shouting at bubba, but I need you to sit in the chair for 5 minutes. we don't yell."
missed out on a lot of childhood experiences? that's okay! your cg is soooo happy to integrate anything into their routine. whether it's storytime, going to the park, holiday celebrations, they're happy to accomodate! "oh you wanna have a bubba baby book read before your nap? of course little one!"
touch starved and wanting a lot of physical affection? they'll love on you SO much to try and make up for it! cuddles, pats, carries, boops, you got it! "awww does munchkin need a hug? cmere"
weren't treated the best emotionally? they understand how it can impact you. your carer always reminds you that you're not a burden, it wasn't your fault, and they truly do love you. they're not lying to you, they don't hate you, there's no maliciousness or ulterior motives- just pure love and care. "I know it was a lot, and I'm sorry you had to live through that angel- but I'm glad you're with me now. As long as I'm here, and as long as you'll let me- I won't let anyone treat you like that again. I pinky promise, my little love. Always, and forever."
Icl, this was very self indulgent to me- but I hope anyone who can sadly relate feels atleast a little bit of comfort and wholesomeness from this. I believe you. You're strong.
🃏🤍I know my parents tried their best but those around us did not
not only do I need to work through suppressed childhood trauma but later trauma as well
I'd love to get my imagined caregivers to be real🤍🦋
Makin a sketch of my favorite mlp character since I started watching g4 again ( ´∀｀)🦋
🃏🤍my love for mlp has been going strong ever since watching the movies in the early 2000s🤍🦋
do any other littles like get stuck in a weird in between where your part way regressed and part way still big, for me it mainly happens when i’m upset and it just makes everything so much worse bc all my emotions start to feel way to big for me
Shoutout to adult age regressors with taxes, jobs, and debts to pay. You're still so itty bitty when you regress!
🃏🤍I come home from work to my cats and coloring books🤍🦋
“girldinner” “boydinner”……what about “regressor without a cg dinner”
☆ can we normalize carrying toys / plushies in public? ☆
as an autistic person that struggles with social anxiety, taking my comfort plushies with me always helps me be more comfortable.
it's not wrong to have comfort items, and we shouldn't be shamed for carrying them around!
I recently had an episode at work
like started crying for no reason and didn't know what was going on around me and suddenly my coworkers were gone and I was alone with my teacher and felt so incredibly alone and hurt...
next day, I brought one of my plushies with me to work and my teacher wasn't there but I hope she doesn't say anything when we come in this week.
I wish things that comfort you didn't come with unnecessary anxiety caused by societal standards and expectations.
🃏🤍be kind and allow yourself to be you🤍🦋
Me when somebody is nice to me and my comfort starved baby brain is desperate for a crumb of affection
