A Double Dose of "Different": Disorders and Diaper Loving

[sport1]

I read the Original message and replies to it. I feel so bad for those that have true neurological issues for diaper wearing (not that I don't love what they do). What gets me, about me, is, as far as I know (and I am close to 60) I don't have any neurological issues, but I love to wear diapers!!

I didn't know for several yrs what was wrong with me.I was tested found to have autism +dd developmental disability about the same time my incontinence returned also diapers.

Although I wet myself because I want to, I have often wondered if why I enjoy peeing my pants (or diaper). I wonder....

I've also wondered about it, too, off and on.

I have autism level 1 and I find that I like wearing diapers (especially when overwhelmed) so I don't have to stop what i'm doing to go to the bathroom (I only wet) and it's one less thing to think about. I also have started wanting to explore being a little, as I feel like getting my diagnosis late in life (at 21) I missed out on having support and acceptance as a child and want to have a chance to "be" a kid and play and explore without judgment. I really like wearing boys underwear and goodnites as it makes me feel slightly more secure and playful than boring mens underwear.

I did not get mine till in my 50's but never leave home without diapers.

I fall between level 1&2 my IQ is 70 +.

The only challenge I make here is we are a self selecting sample, which always skews the results! and generates confirmation bias. So it make us look one way amd not generate the whole picture.

There by proving I'm an Engineer and all that entails!

I agree this thread doesn't constitute statistical significance in and of itself. More people with disorders will likely chime in for corroboration and support and skew the results vs neuro-typicals chiming in just to say "hello".

Having said that, I am an Aspie, and I have been wondering about these deeper connections we seem to share beyond what brought us together in the first place. Diapers, in general

I am new here, and have already started wondering

Also in the asexual forums (AVEN), crossdressing forums, gender support groups, and ASD support groups/ counseling there is some apparent overlap. With in-person groups, it takes a LONG time before most will feel comfortable enough to share honestly and freely enough to come to a similar point of seriously wondering about all this.

I personally love feeling kindred and connected with others, an entire lifetime of trouble keeping friends and relationships long term, and not fitting in makes every little connection special and worth my attention.

I learned to accept and enjoy not fitting in at a young age, so it's almost mind-blowing to learn as an adult how well I really do fit in, once I find others who are of similar interests.

Happy Friday!

I've noticed so many overlapping psychology on this site.. I haven't managed to make sense of my observations yet.. I absolutely love to connect on this site! And everyone here is so important to me!

The Autism spectrum is somewhat like a rainbow not all the same. I've had trouble all my life with Autism +dd my wife is a big help was returned to diapers several yrs ago for wetting on things.

 

[TheDiaperdStoner]

One of the most common problems for people who have Autism Spectrum Disorders and Sensory Processing Disorder (making up approximately five percent of the world) is a difficulty with changes in the environment and transitions from one thing to another

This is what I've been dealing with i can't stand temps above 50F (10C) unless it's extremely dry. Amount of moisture and i feel all sticky in-between my fingers & toes and anywhere my skin touches it's self.

I'm unable to deal with emotions and i end up having a mix of a temper tantrum and a psychotic break nearly every day.

I can't keep going on like this.

My brain needs to be numb or a have anxiety psychotic break. My bain can't be numb if i feel sticky where my skin touches it's self & i can't just ignore it & that just makes me more angry.

You're not alone; I feel extremely uncomfortable and dysphoric when I feel the slightest bit too warm. Summer is my most hated time of year because of it.
I find it so hard to deal with my emotions too.

Had desire to wear and use diapers since I was born or since I can remember.
I have anxiety, depression and definitely mental issues. But when I was like 6 or 8 I think I was mentally healthy then.
Or maybe I had problems since I was a child but I noticed them later? And DL's behavior was a way of dealing with the subconscious?

I don't know, but if there was a method to "cure" myself from being ABDL, I would NOT use it.
The use of diapers is one of my pleasures, I see no point in giving it up.

Of course! As long as you do not harm others or yourself, and if it benefits you , ENJOY!! .
I'm interested...
You have anxiety.. same as me ! But you are very active on the ermm.. sex stuff... soo how are you managing being anxious but also extrovert with sex?

Well, right now it gets much better with my mental health. I went to individual psychotherapy. I am receiving psychiatric treatment. Now, admittedly, I do not take part of the medications, because I have cured myself or my boyfriend did this to me

I just work with anxiety, I try to overcome my fear. It is not easy, but the satisfaction and joy of interacting with people quickly motivated me.
Being DL is an escape from stress, especially putting on a nappy to sleep and using a pacifier.

As for my sex life, I have always had a lot of needs in this area. Paradoxically I am afraid of intimate contact with another person, but my needs are stronger.

1. I find women very sexy creatures and the same is my feeling when I see an attractive male. If I'm in a relationship with someone, I can't say no to cuddle and make love.

2. When I wake up in the morning with a full diaper, it is natural for me to get sexual satisfaction.

3. When I see furry art or someone in an attractive fursuit, I also often feel like having sex.

Hahaha! ..
O.k! You really like sex!!
Thats cool. ..
I was wondering how, when anxiety is stronger than your "cool" how do you manage to avoid alcholol as a relaxant and still get your goals ...

Yeah, I do ^.^
I am on strong psychotropics, and I am emotionally stable because of them. I don't complain because they help me.

Unfortunately, when I mix them with alcohol, I either cut my veins or hanged myself once. They locked me in a psychiatric ward, believe me, there are nicer places to spend your free time.
Surely not everyone reacts like that, but I just can't drink.

And drugs mixed with these medications cause an instant overdose ...

So I had no choice but to live sober. My health benefited a lot from this.

I likely have mild autism. My friends seem to think I do, but I haven't been gone to a specialist to be tested like therapist recommends. I also deal with anxiety and depression, and as far as being wired differently, being transgender certainly seems to fit that, even if it isn't a disorder by itself. The combination of being trans and likely mildly autistic honestly makes me like a complete stranger to this planet on a regular basis.

That makes sense. I know how isolated we can feel .
