Need Advice From Other Permaregressors!

I got a really important question.

Is there any place I can learn adult skills in a child-like way?

I'm having trouble learning how to drive, read/pay bills, and other things (I'm learning REALLY late, mid-20's). I keep losing focus cause my brain doesn't wanna work if the material isn't presented in a fun way. I can blame my combined autism/ADHD for that >:/

Here's a list of things that can help, besides first hand experience (which I don't have time for rn):

Playing games

Using coloring books, physical or digital

Watching funny educational videos

Listening to songs

Anything else you can come up with!

If anyone has any tips, please tell me! It would genuinely help me out so much.

My regression has helped me remember so many positive childhood memories!

I've always had trouble remembering my childhood at all due to disability and trauma, but thanks to my agere... I can reconnect with the exact happy, easygoing, childish mindset I had as a kid. I can remember the much more frequent, happier times from my childhood.

Here's a couple things I remember:

Lying between my older cousins as they played Kingdom Hearts I. I felt a little frightened of the heartless, but my pacifier helped me relax. I was falling asleep, so my grandma took me into her bedroom, where my crib was.

I often played with fingerpaint in my highchair.

I LOOOVED bathtime. Bath paints, bath foam, bath crayons, bath toys, bubbles, warm water... It really is nice. I remember fingerpainting the 70's pink tile walls in the bath.

I used to get callouses just from coloring with crayons so much.

I remember the song everyone sang in preschool about bigger and bigger fish eating smaller fish. At the end, there was a big shark! This was a puppet show at some point.

I'm really grateful to have agere. I'm happy it exists, and I'm happy that I can just be little sometimes, if not all the time.

Hehehe I had a fun idea and edited myself a lil jungle-themed playpen!!

Only the biggest lions need a pen! It's to keep them from eating people. RAAAWR!!

Friendly reminder:

If people don't like your regression, that's not your problem! It's your mind and body, and as long as you're not actually hurting anyone nobody should care.

Ignore haters, be yourself! They're just jealous they don't have the courage to be little like you do. Don't give the haters attention, just block and report, don't reply or engage. They'll get bored and eventually go away.

It doesn't matter what they say, they're just some rando on the internet. They can't hurt you if you just block them. Don't rise to their bait, they just want a reaction because they don't have anything better to do with their time. Don't reward bad behavior with a response.

Love yall!

Every time someone posts hate against regressors, we just get stronger X3

I love the idea of cuddles, but my social anxiety and general autistic awkwardness make me really apprehensive. What if it's not the right time for snuggles? What if I hug too hard or too soft? What if I don't seem sincere? What if I accidentally touch somewhere inappropriate?

Lack of social awareness sucks.
