Does Anyone Else View Their Regression/dreaming As More Of An Autistic Trait Than Anything Else?

Fun fact! There's this thing called misokinesia that's similar to misophonia but is triggered by other people's movements, often repetitive movements like fidgeting or stimming.

I had this as a kid really bad, I was always having meltdowns cause no one would understand just how distressing it was for me so it's really nice to find out that it's an actual thing :3

Wishing that everyone who deals with misokinesia isn't forced to stay in a space with triggering movements 🥰🥰🥰

currently doing some research on like clinical reports of age regression and I found this...

Cuddling your little and softly singing them lullabies as you doze off into sleep long before they do

Your little chronically under sleeps until you start saying you need to hold them through the night to sleep ("you have mr.teddy to sleep with but you're [title]'s mr.teddy so I need you to come cozy up in bed with me, okay?")

Falling asleep while watching your little's favourite movie/show and having them excitedly explain the entire plot of it after

Taking a nap on the couch and waking up to see your little has covered in you in makeup and stickers

Getting the coziest blankies and stuffies for you and your little to snuggle up under

Your little still into their games even when you're too tired to play ("We must rescue princess teddy without waking the evil dragon!")

Having the third sense for when your little's breaking a rule and waking right in time to stop them (and sometimes pretending you didn't notice cause they deserve a cookie or two)

Picking your little up after they had a long day and falling alseep on the couch cause neither of you had the energy to make it back to the bedroom

Caregiver healing from having a toxic little with their new little (little talk has plain text in brackets after it)

You get to your little's place after a long day at work. After a bit of playing with them they tell you, "you seem tiwed" (you seem tired)

"sorry, my precious"

"no, itz ok. but r u gud?" (no, it's okay. But are you good?)

"I'm just a little stressed about my work, that's all"

"ooh, jobs are vewy hard. I awways getz eepy ater work" (oh, jobs are very hard. I always get sleepy after work)

"well, good thing you have me here to look after you"

"but whatz abou u???" (but what about you)

"I'm okay"

"nu, bubba needa west wight now" (no, bubba (caregiver) needs to rest right now), your little one takes your hand and leads you over to their bed before weakly pushing you onto it.

"come on munchkin, I'm here to take care of you, not to nap"

"bu-but I needz u ta be wested s-so we can both be appy n pway" (but I need you to be rested so we can both be happy and play)

"okay, if you insist"

"yayyy, okie, nuw stay hewe. I needa get u stuff" (yay, okay, now stay here. I need to get you stuff)

"be safe!!!" you shout out as they rush off to the kitchen.

You wait in bed thinking over what your little tot could be doing. You listen carefully to make sure there are no concerning noises and while there are a couple thunks they're all followed by a quick "I okey" (I'm okay). You start to feel more guilty about leaving your little alone especially when they're this small and running around the house to do whatever they want. You think about how you're last little would have come back crying about how you didn't follow them even though they told you not to.

As your fears start to creep, thinking of your little muffin coming back upset or hurt they appear in the doorway happy as ever

" 'ook wa I made fur u" (look what I made for you?)

They present you with their favourite plate with a messy peanut butter and jelly sandwich in one section, chips in another and a mix of blueberries and raspberries in the last.

"I didznt cut da sammich cause i knuw u dun wanme usin sharp stuff. Annnn! N i added fwuits cause you awways say dere 'mpowtant" "I didn't cut up the sandwich because I know you don't want me using sharp objects. And! I added fruits because you always say they are important)

"aww, you're such a good kid" you say was you rub their hair.

"canz I cuddle wid u?" (can I cuddle with you?)

"of course!"

You lay there, hugging them and snacking on the food they made for you for a while.

"Hey button, I'm really sorry I couldn't be that good of a caregiver today"

"wha??? you were da best today!" (What? You were the best today) they cuddle into your arm, "I don eed you tu awways be stwong for me. ur da best cause I wuv u not cause of da stuff u do" (I don't need you to always be strong for me. You're the best because I love you, not because of the stuff you do for me)

WATER BEAR PLUSHIES

They're also called tardigrades or moss piglets and they're water animals that live ALL OVER the world and can survive extreme conditions like extreme temperatures, extreme pressures (both high and low), air deprivation, radiation, dehydration, and starvation and have survived being in OUTER SPACE

Here's a picture of some actual tardigrades under the cut but be warned they look a lil creepy crawly so if you don't like bugs you probably won't like them

Me remembering that time I tried to say something to a new friend but my brain didn't make words so I just babbled at him while holding cookies I wanted to give to him

Puppy regressor!Jayce and handler!Viktor but Jayce loves being Viktor's "service dog" when he regresses

Always bringing Viktor his pills on time and reminding him to drink water and eat

Picking things up for Viktor, grabbing his cane if it's far from him

His favorite is providing deep pressure therapy

Viktor doesn't need it that often but he knows Jayce loves it so he'll ask for it more than he actually needs it

Viktor has some skin picking habits that Jayce will interrupt by putting his head over where Viktor is picking and looking up at him with big puppy dog eyes

He learns the signs viktor is about to pass out or have an episode with one of his health issues to be able to alert him

Sometimes viktor just ignores him though

*Jayce nuzzles his head into Viktor's shoulder, the alert for if Viktor's going to pass out* V: just let me finish this up quickly, *Jayce whimpers*, V: don't worry I'll-

Viktor wakes up on the couch with Jayce staring up at him from the floor with the biggest, saddest puppy dog eyes

"I'm sorry, I should have listened to you, could you get me some water"

Jayce perks up and looks over to the new bottle of water sitting on the side table

"oh look at that. You're a good boy aren't you" *Viktor runs his hand through Jayce's hair*, "I think this deserves a treat, could you grab the bag"

Jayce patiently waits as he watches Viktor carefully pull a handful of treats out and give them to him

Jayce just loves knowing he's a good boy and that he's helping Viktor

Imagine an agere summer camp. Regresssors coming from all over to spend a week to spend a week being kids together. And finally getting to meet online friends.

Sleeping together in cabins vaguely sorted by your little ages. Littler cabins in their onzies with their pacis and diapers. Not having to hide them away and getting to show off their collections of pacis. And the older regressors staying up far past the curfew playing video games on a gameboy one of them snuck in. And a cabin for the pet regressors with pet beds for those who use them.

Having campfires and craft circles and all the pets getting to run wild (and the teen regressors getting high behind the cabins but we keep that a secret from the tinies)

Having sticker charts to reward the tinies good behavior and having glass rules the middle and older regressors get to break and feel so rebellious about.

And so many smores

Just a reminder: You aren't weird or gross for having accidents while regressed! That's what diaps and such are there for, silly!

I wants one of des plates sooooo bad
