What is age regression?

Age regression is a COPING SKILL, People tend to mix up age regression with sexualizing children, ABDL is sexualizing children (The thought of being a child arouses you, Sexualizing pacifiers, wearing diapers, etc) ABDL is disgusting and shouldn't be a thing, Being an age regressor I feel uncomfortable age regressing sometimes with the fear of people getting the wrong idea about me age regressing. Age regression can include: Stuffies (Stuffed animals) Babbles/baby talk, Watching disney movies, Having a paci (Pacifier), Or using a sippycup, etc. Age regression is NOT ABDL, ABDL needs to be stopped, people need to stop sexualizing a coping skill, Age regression is supposed to help trauma, stress, or depression, If you meet an age regressor with mental illness, please treat them with care, As an age regressor with PTSD and depression, I lost 8 years of my childhood, Age regressing for me is claiming back my childhood :')

Side note: Age regressors tend to have a caregiver! (Age regressing can also be called being in "little space" <3
