Tips for autistic regressors <3

✩⋆.ೃ𐦍*:☾･⋆𐦍.ೃ࿔*:･✩⋆.ೃ𐦍*:☾･⋆𐦍.ೃ࿔*:･

❀ self soothe during burnout (bubble baths, warm drinks, nap time with cozy blankets)

❀ non verbal regressors (make communication cards! colour them and decorate with stickers)

❀ allow yourself to stim (lots of textures~ feeling the soft fur of your stuffies, fidget toys, rocking, give your whole body a big shake)

❀ safe foods (mine is yogurt pouches or crackers) pick foods with a texture you enjoy!

❀ meltdowns (when i have them i like to go to a dark room, get my blanket and stuffies, a bottle of milk and allow myself to cry and reset <3 be gentle with yourself :)

Reminder~ you are valid, worthy and amazing!! please be kind to yourself 🌼🐻✨

the things that people do when they’re trying to hold back a laugh are ADDICTIVE. the covered faces, the squinted eyes, and the puffed-up cheeks — all failed attempts at hiding their sweet smile away. the way that they clear their throats and hold their breaths in feeble attempts to remedy the giggles bubbling in their chests, only for their eyes to be shining with mirth anyway. they tried really hard to keep it together, but they still ended up crumbling apart! ♡

Long post alert! (Talking abt positivity and negativity in the agere community online :p)

Now and then, I’ll see a few posts floating around expressing frustration that so much of agere on social media looks super positive and pure, like it’s nothing but good times, when in reality, age regression can often involve past or current trauma, difficult emotions, and unpleasant behaviors and experiences. And I agree! As someone who experiences involuntary regression as a stress response, I know firsthand that it can feel truly awful sometimes. However! When I’m experiencing those feelings, I don’t particularly want to talk about them on social media. On this account specifically, I treat it as a safe space where I can go to feel secure and happy. Part of keeping that space safe for myself (and keeping myself safe online in general) means that I don’t talk much about the negative parts of my own regression, such as my triggers or past experiences. Overall, I guess I just wanted to give my two cents on the topic. I completely understand why some folks might be frustrated that social media seems to portray only the positive side of agere, but I also think it’s important to consider why that might be. Social media is curated, and it’s not designed to represent 100% of someone’s lifestyle or personality. Some people might find comfort in discussing the hard parts of agere online, others might not. Sometimes, people aren’t showing the difficult parts because they might not experience them. But sometimes, they’re simply choosing not to share those parts of themselves. And I think that’s okay, too. Thank you for reading :) 💕
