Hello I am Sawyer, I am twenty one years old and I am a flip. I am diagnosed autistic so I may jokes literally, tone tags aren’t required (but appreciated!)
I make mood boards, cg and little stories, and little updates on my life. I may post inconsistently due to the fact I am chronically ill.
My DMs are always open and always willing to make friends!
“Shhhhh, it’s okay baby mamas got you. I know it’s sooo late. Someone is really really fussy hm? Poor baby, it’s past your bedtime mama should’ve put you down sooner”
kid who feels embarrassed when their carer treats them like a baby, but also secretly craves it. carer who is patient and holds back slightly, babying them but not going 'too far' until their baby is oh-so tiny, not able to think about being embarassed ; only being their littlest baby !!
'oh, theres my precious bab, look at you.. such a tiny darling!'
the baby just giggles and babbles away, clinging to them and letting their carer baby them to their hearts desire .. 💭
regressors with picc lines, ports, or tunneled hickmans
regressors who have ostomoys, catheters, or other stomas
regressors who have drains
regressors who are house bound or bedbound
regressors who are on oxygen or trached
regressors who use manual or power wheelchairs, who wouldn’t be able to leave their beds without them
we are so often forgotten in posts about disability & regression. but i want you to know that i see you and i love you. you deserve to regress and to see yourself in your community. you deserve softness & care.
your regression is perfect in its differences. and i hope one day, disabled regression will truly be seen & understood here
note: this post is about physical disability, especially severe physical disability. you can reblog if you’re neurodivergent but please do not derail - you have so many other posts that are just for you. this one is for us.
dad who only ever relaxes with his kid in his arms. wrapping them into hugs, curling around them in their crib as he sings lullabies, gently rocking them in his lap. only ever content when his baby is safe and secure, in the safest place they could be 💭
I know I can’t always be there, and I know I must worry you sometimes. But I promise taking care of you is one of the highlights of my day. You’re a good kid. Thank you for your kindness and patience. I hope we can still have fun together, regardless of what happens.

⭐️ Good days and Bad days will always look different, but regardless they’ll do their best to keep things cozy and fun.
⭐️ Bring them their cane when it’s too far away.
⭐️ Going to the doctors office together, you get to sit in the waiting room playing with toys, while they go back for their check up.
⭐️ On good days, they’ll take you to the movies. Something fun for the both of you, but low energy enough to not risk a flare up. We can bring our blankets and plushies, and even sneak in some snacks, shhhh-
⭐️ However, when they’re not feeling good, and they can’t do much. You’re always welcome to spend time in their room: We can color, watch a movie, listen to an audiobook, or have naptime. Just keep things low energy for their sake.
⭐️ Letting you decorate their pill organizer and cane. They got stickers and you have your creativity.
⭐️ Reminding them to make their medicine and fill their water bottle, and then asking you to do the same.
⭐️ Helping them in the kitchen, cooking comfort foods, and eating together to make sure we’ve both eaten. Even if it’s something simple.
⭐️ Helping them restock their bedside cart with essentials, and getting a snack of your choice in return. And maybe a gold star.
⭐️ Setting up a cozy chair next to their bed for you. So they can read to you, watching shows with you, and just hold your hand and listen to you talk about anything.
⭐️ But on very bad days, when you can’t visit, you make get well soon cards and drawing. Bringing them over when you can. And seeing their face light up knowing they were being thought of.
⭐️ Having window time, just cracking the window for fresh air and listening to nature together. A small moment, but a very important one.
⭐️ Holding their hand wherever you go to keep them steady in your own way.
⭐️ Walking slower than normal to make things easier for them. It just means you get to spend more time together.
⭐️ On bad days, just laying around and watching the celling projector together. Maybe some music in the background.
⭐️ Though after too much inside time, they take you on a little adventure, maybe the mall, the grocery store, or just anywhere to feel less isolated. Even for a few minutes.
⭐️ But the most important thing, get well soon hugs. With your cozy hugs, just maybe it’ll make things a little easier.
“You made this for me? Oh my goodness, I- I don’t know what to say. Thank you, thank you so much.”
“I’ll be okay, you go play, I’ll be here if you need me.”
“Remember to drink your water okay? Do you need any snacks?”
“It’s just a check up, I’ll be out soon.”
“Thank you for being here bubba, i really appreciate it.”
I see a lot of these - but often find them hard to relate to because the suggestions require way more energy than I have! So I’ve made a list of some of my favourite things to do incase anyone else is in the same boat!
- listening to kids book audios! My favourite are the bluey books, but I know there are a bunch of other fun ones on youtube!
- If there’s a day where you have some extra energy, or you have someone to help out, try hanging things on the wall/ceiling near your bed to look at.
- open up your window if you can handle the light! Plenty of fun things to see out there - can you see any cool trees? Or birds?
- touch and feel books!! I find it hard to have my eyes open a lot of the time, so these are a really good option because I can flip through and feel the pages without having to look at them!
- playing with/arranging my stuffies! On low energy days I find it hard to get out and play with most of my toys, but i keep my stuffies on my bed so it’s easier to reach them!
- calling with friends! Especially if they know about your regression and/or low energy!! Talking is fun, but if you don’t feel up to it just watching something together is as fun!
- star projector! I thrifted one for really cheap, and so when im stuck on my back it’s lovely to look at on my ceiling!
- regression playlist - I have a playlist of songs I love when im little, during particularly bad flares, listening to it in the dark is almost all I can do
- babbling, I know this sounds silly but it can be super fun and calming to babble to yourself
- kids shows and movies! I know a lot of screen time isn’t good for you - but if that’s all you have the energy for then there’s nothing wrong with it!
- picking out fun and cozy clothes for bed! I love my Winnie the Pooh top and my vintage nightgown the best (cause it makes me feel like a princess!!).
- daydreaming! I know some people struggle with this one, but it’s so super fun and definitely my favourite if you can!
