caregiver with a black little that has internalized racism

always makes sure to put on shows with good black rep and buy books with black characters

does your hair all pretty in cornrows or box braids and adds colourful beads to it

always reassured you you're a good kid no matter what others assume about you

and that your skin and black features are very pretty

loves making your 'non-typical' agere meals that are a bunch of Jamaican foods (/foods from your ethnicity) your mom used to make for you

will do as much as possible to keep you away from the news when regressed

will NOT let anyone tell you that pastels don't look good on you

they're try to reassure you you don't need to worry about racism and stuff cause they'll protect you but sometimes they have to admit they can't protect you from everything and just let you cry in their arms

will teach you about strong black figures

helps you reconnect with parts of your culture your parents didn't share with you like reggae music

if you're African they'll wrap you in a bunch of African prints and celebrate Kwanzaa with you

when you can't regress so you hang out with you friends until they make you feel so excluded that you involuntarily regress

when you write out a really long post then try to copy and paste it only you accidentally copy an empty line and erase everything :'(

does anyone have tips on how to get out of little space. I keep trying but my mind is still wandering back

Food Worksheets

Hello!!! I made worksheets for trying new foods.

I made this cause I'm autistic and struggle to try new foods but this also could be helpful for people with

Also try foods again if you are able to. Our sense of taste is trainable and certain tastes like bitterness can fade over time. And (at least for me) a lot of my issues with texture come from fear which you can also train against by showing your brain it's safe to eat that thing.

Happy tasting!

Here is the full version, one that fits on printer paper and a printer friendly version!

Hello, little loves. Mama needs to talk to you, okay? Can we turn our listening ears on please? Thank you so much little one!

Now. I know that making collages on here is so much fun! I do it too. I love spending time making them with the regressors/littles in the system! But recently there's been a spike in something deeply concerning with these photo collages.

We cannot use real kiddos, okay? As a mom myself, I know how upset and hurt id be if someone posted my kiddo on one, and we would never want to make another person uncomfortable or upset right, peach?

Don't use real kids. As nice as I am being in this post, little loves, I am deadly serious. The internet is not a safe place for minors, never has been. Don't subject actual LITTLE children to the internet when you have no place. Especially since I know you don't know the kids you are putting in these collages.

✨✨✨ A caregiver taking care of me when my vascular malformation has a flare up ✨✨✨

🫰I wake up and I'm trying to do my best to hide it but they can see that my hand is stuck in a ball and I'm holding it to my chest

🫰" what's wrong little one, is your hand hurting?"

🫰I start sobbing "uhh! It feewls so baddd, it's all one fire and like it's gonna burst outta my hand"

🫰"oh no, let me help you with that" they take my hand and guide me over to the bathroom sink then turn on the cool water and holds my hand under it

🫰I lean into them "ohhh, that feewls soo good"

🫰"how long has this been going on, sweetie?"

🫰I bury my head in their shoulder, "... a couple days"

🫰"why didn't you tell me before? You know I would have helped you?"

🫰"Cause I need to be a big strong boy"

🫰"you can be a big strong boy and also come to me for help"

🫰 they take me over to my bed and put me under a bunch of covers, wrap my hand in a cold, wet towel, and put one of my stuffies under it so it's elevated

🫰 "You should rest for now, here's an Advil. What do you want to watch?"

🫰"ooo, can we watch The Wild Robot?"

🫰"of course little one!"

🫰 the next day they get a sling for my arm so it's easier to keep to keep my hand elevated and reassures me that it's okay for me to wear even if I'm not 'injured' because it's helping me be in less pain

If you're curious about what a vascular malformation is: a bunch of the veins on my arm and on my back are like bigger than they're supposed to be or like tangled and stuff so sometimes blood clots form (they're harmless but painful) or just sometimes some veins expand and that causes a lot of pain in my hand. I'm pretty sure it's best if I keep my whole body cool but I love being cozy so I never do that >:)

black regressor moodboard !!! 🛁🫧<3

we don't get enough representation in the agere community and it can feel really discouraging sometimes !!! especially when you have different nostalgic regression when it comes to getting your hair done, the music you grew up listening to, and rarely seeing other black characters in your favorite media >< but we are here and we are just as valid as everyone else !!! you are loved and seen !!! <3 sincerely a fellow black regressor <3 ^_____^🐛

Does anyone else view their regression/dreaming as more of an autistic trait than anything else?

I don't even know if I should be saying it's a trait?

For me it feels like I'm unmasking and even when I'm not regressed I still do/enjoy childlike things.

I wouldn't say I have trauma nor that my regression stems from trauma. My regression just feels like a vulnerable, soft headspace where I can just unwind and unmask. I honestly just didn't grow out of things -like toys and playing- and started masking (I especially noticed it when I was 10) to fit in with my peers who were growing out of things. I didn't want to be left behind and friendless.

Arcane Worksheets!

Here are some agere worksheet I made for arcane including a wordsearch and a couple matching exercises
