'm Bout To Get Bloodwork Done And I Know It's Gonna Be Scary But Sometimes They Give Me A Juice Box After

Vent below

Ppl are so mean :((( I don't like me friends and I hate that I have to be friends with them cause we're in the same sport. They all joke about being autistic then say they don't like those ppl cause they're too autistic and then when I say they're not autistic enough to understand that you can't just "start socializing" they say there's no more or less autistic and like yeah there isn't but you clearly don't know anywhere enough about autism or disability to understand how one condition can cause people varying levels of disability like you're self diagnosed and haven't even done research, you do not speak for the autistic community*. You tone down your definition of autism to mean being a bit weird so you can fit into it and then when ppl talk about the actual affects of autism you say that's not a real thing cause it doesn't fit into your definition. I hate them. And they're like just talk to people and then say they don't like other people cause they talk too much. I hate them I hate them I hate them.

Like why are we talking badly about ppl behind their backs. I get shitty on ppl who have done bad things but they were literally saying "he's just too autistic for me"

I hate how autism has been mainstreamed to mean quirky then people feel comfortable shitting on actually autistic people because they're "a bit autistic"

They're sooooo mean and I hate them and I miss being a kid and when people said mean things adults told them not to but now they're all like we're adults, but that doesn't make being mean okay!!!

*this isn't anything against self diagnosed ppl who did literally any research and don't use their label as an excuse to be ableist. Self diagnosis is very important for ppl who can't get access to assessments or for whom having an official diagnosis would hurt but there are more ppl now adays that use their ability to self diagnose badly

Hiii! I just made a community for age regressors to vent in :D

it's @@agere-venting, I had a lot of fun making it, I made the banner and pfp myself :D. I even added a list of hotlines if you need one :3

sooo plz join and share it maybe, that would make me really happy. thank youuuu!!!!

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!

caregiver helping a black age regressor through internalized racism

*caregiver is helping the little take a bath* "hey bubba, be careful, you're gonna hurt your skin" "I needs to get clean" "You only have to scrub a little to get clean, now you're gonna start tearing your skin" "no! I'm not clean enough yet. I needs to be clean like the pwetty girls on TV" "oh bubba," *picks you up and holds you* "you're not dirty, you're african and there are very many pretty girls on TV that look like you" "mmm... but they're not cared about like the clean girls" "bubba, all of those girls are clean and so are you. And yes sometimes people care more about the white girls but you don't have to worry about that because you'll always have me to care about you" "okay, mama... why can not people just care about all of us?" "because sometimes the world is mean and that's very sad but I'm here to protect you"

Age regressing while you're in asl class and doing animal signs is sooo fun. My favourite sign is turtle 🐢🐢🐢

Shoutout to age regressors who are just so anti authoritarian they can't handle having a cg who gives them rules and if their cg tries they immediately start an uprising. "chu wiww be heawing fwum my union wep, mr. cuddles!" I wiww not stand dis!!!!

✨✨✨ 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 >:)

if only mama sevika was real, she would take such good care of me. no one would be allowed to hurt me, I'd have the best toys in all of the undercity

shout out to littles that dont have a cg so they depend on a fictional cg bring them comfort

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 :'(

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