Sexualizing someone’s age regression has got to be pedophilia even if all parties are adults

I didn’t know this was an autism thing, but I have ADHD and I know the two overlap a ton. Either way I do this too and I am SO thankful my partner doesn’t change his behavior at all when it happens. We had a conversation about it and he wanted to know what he could do for me in those moments, and has never suggested anything sexual when it happens.

honestly thanks for bringing this up bc not only is this a valid frustration lol but it’s honestly refreshing to know that age regression among ND folk is a thing! i’ve always felt weird/almost bad for wanting to do things related to age regression especially when i get stressed, and i was afraid of calling it what it is.

so people make that a kink? What? How? Why? Isn’t that just like watered down pedophilia? Or do I need to learn more about this?

what youre talking about is *skill regression. which is a bit different than age regression. age regression simply means that sometimes you feel or may act like you are a younger age. like doing things that might not be assigned to their age group like for example: still having stuffed animals, wanting to color, watching cartoons. it doesnt have to be a young age either. ive had a lot of neurodivergent friends stay the “feel stuck as teenagers” i think we’re just whimsical imo

people confuse age regression with ageplay. age regression is a mode of coping especially common in neurodivergent people. ageplay is a roleplay kink. im not sure if u want to go down that rabbit hole js 😭
