Do you/have you known someone who doesn't show it but who you suspect might be ABDL?

[SoggyGolfer]

Back when I was in 12th grade I was friends with a guy who one day out of nowhere brought up that there are people who are into diapers and how weird he thinks it is.
I just played along and said something along the lines of "Yeah, people sometimes enjoy weird stuff".
So far so good but a few days later I was hanging out with him and he showed me ABDL porn again under the premise of how weird he thinks it is.
It was a topic he brought up again and again.
So I think he probably was into it, it's one thing finding something "weird" on the internet and telling others about it but going out of your way to find more and more stuff related to it even going as far as searching for porn seems kinda "suspicious" if you ask me.

Did it occur to you that he suspected YOU are into ABDL and he was fishing.

There is a girl I work with who I think wears diapers - or has a strangely shaped bottom! She dresses in an ambiguously little way - so It's possible.

Sadly, it's not the kind of thing you can casually bring up! There's no way I'd tell anyone at work I wear diapers. I think they'd be supportive to my face but take the piss out of me (pun not intended) behind my back. It's that kind of environment!

Just start saying hi everyday and be friendly, GROW that friendship, never know, worst thing would be u make a new friend!!!!

Probably not, he knew almost nothing about me so if he had a clue then I wouldn't know from where.

I once worked for a fortune 50 company and saw a post on ASFD from our corporate attorney asking about someone to diaper him. He accidentally posted from his work Email. Later on I had to interact with him on a legal matter and it was super-awkward!

Now you post has me wondering about that famous lawyer from my childhood, Perry Mason.

My best friend will gladly wear diapers with me in some situations. Probably do to my influence but she's not resistant to the idea and leads me to believe a lot of people are "almost" there when it comes time to wearing diapers at least.

It seems that with the advent of disposable pull ups and potty training at a later age and with less rigidity in scheduling it the adverse reaction to wearing diapers as adults is diminishing. When I was child it was almost a mark of pride for parents to be able to say at what a young age their child had potty trained. This seems to have run its course and parents today are allowing their kids to wear pull ups into their third and fourth year without concern. Perhaps this is having an effect on wearing diapers at an older age that was so resisted by older folks of my generation.

I can think of one insurance. I was hanging out with some cousins and one of them mentioned that they had a friend that suggested wearing diapers to allow them to drink longer without needing to go to the restroom.
I responded with a comment saying it was weird. If I wasn't a coward I might have said something like "I guess that's one way to do it"

When I was a kid, I had a brother that would steal diapers, wear them and even poop in them! I don't know if he grew out of it or still does it in secret. (I was the older brother who was too scared to do it myself when I was kid, even though part of me wanted to). I remember he would tell diaper stories, along with some of my cousins.

When we were about eight, my cousin had cloth diapers and plastic pants she found at her house, and we each put one on and played in it all morning, wetting them too. Another time she brought Pampers for us when we were visiting our grandmother. Diapers and plans to bring them were mentioned a few more times, but when we got older, she never brought it up again. As an adult, I have wondered if she had DL tendencies, too, but never asked.

I'll try it, when the situation is right!

Well, I did try it - as the situation was right!
I was having lunch - and she came & sat opposite me. Only because the hall was busy & there were not many seats left.

I introduced myself and we chatted about what we each do on the production. She is an Art Department Runner (essentially runs around delivering drawings to other departments). I commented on how much I like the way she dresses and that she looks quite 'little'. She went bright red, mumbled "Thanks" then said she had to go! I clearly embarrassed her! I thought I'd blown it!

Then this week (a month later) she came up to me on set & asked if I'd like Coffee. (It's not unusual, people often go around offereng drinks or snacks to production crew during filming). She came back with coffee, we sat in a dark corner & chatted. She asked if I was little? I said No, but I think we might both have a bit of extra padding here & there! Again, bright red! This time she stayed though. I explained that I was IC and had to wear nappies. She said she was IC too, and mildly Autistic. She just liked wearing childish clothes but was not really "little". She said she'd noticed some 'padding' on me too - and wondered!

We both went back to work. I've not been on set since, so our paths have not crossed. It was a good, if uncomfortable start though.

Having worn diapers for as long as I have, I think I’m more sensitive to the fact others do wear them. Several times over the years, I have been out shopping and have run into others that are Diapered as well. On a few occasions I have been asked if I was wearing one because they could hear, the crinkle.

The first time that I actually knew someone that was a Diapered and I was unaware, was in college. I worked part time with another girl that was taking the same classes. We started riding together from work to school. One afternoon on the way to class, I told her I needed to run to the restroom a soon as we get in the building. She laughed and said you should just wear a diaper and you wouldn’t have to worry about it. At that time I was wearing diapers in private, but never to school or work. I laughed and said yeah right and that was when she lifted her skirt and showed me that she was wearing a pull-up. She told me I should do the same thing because most people don’t know the difference.

Just in my experiences, I have suspected others as well because I know what they sound like on me and I can pick up on that pretty easily. If you are observant, depending on what other women are wearing, you can tell.

This is awesome! I wonder how many "mildly autistic" people have this "child like" personality inside them. I can totally relate to her: not being a little, but liking to being and looking innocent.

I think many, many people I've met over the years could be an ABDL given the right stimulus. Many people don't know this exists, so their ABDL thoughts and desires don't flourish. For example:

- I used to work with a woman that always commented how she would prefer to use diapers to restrooms in big shows/concerts; she commented this in at least 3 different occasions;
- I see many people nowadays (specially woman) wearing footed pajamas/onesies in public "just for fun";
- The woman who sewed my footed pajamas complimented how cute and cool I looked and how mature I was for being ok of wearing cute things even as a man (tbh, everybody that sells childish clothing to adults have something going on...);
- I work with a woman in her 30s that sometimes go to online meetings with her pajama that has unicorn and rainbow patterns on it.

None of those are ABDL, but certainly the have the same "itch". If ABDL was more mainstream/accepted, I could se some of them becoming like us.

This is a HUGE conversation. Nice one! very brave all round

I had a person I'd buy "herbal remedies" from. While she sold on the side she mainly bought and sold toys.
She was a friend too so when I went over to her place we'd hang out, smoke out, and play. We'd play dress up, she'd show me toys in her collection. She would always send me home with a toy along with my bag of ahem "herbal remedies".

I don't think she was ABDL, might have been if she knew about it. Think she might have been Little, but not aware of Ageplay or Age Regression. For awhile I was sure she knew I was tho. I've bought a lot of "herbal remedy" bags, but no one was sending me home with a toy.

I think a lot of people are in the shallow end of our pool.

 

[safaridaze]

Well... I personally wonder every time I walk down the diaper isle at Walgreens and see a middle aged person - lol.

 

[DinoFrant]

Looking back, I slightly suspect that my first ex is ABDL, but I guess I´ll never know for sure, lol.

 

[heymanbaby59]

Looking at estimates of how many ABDLs there are I wonder how many people I know or have come across who are secretly ABDL too. Do you know people that might be abdl?

I am not really an abdl, I just like to be babied and kept in nappies, but I do not act like a baby, even though I like to be bottle fed and use a dummy ... I am at the point in life where I don't care who does or does not know I am wearing a nappy ...

Humm. I used to think that about myself. I was just a DL. But as I began to like the concept of a onzie, a dummy, a bottle, and a stuffed animal to sleep with..... I began to ask myself..... Seems there is more AB in me than I had historically accepted.. I kinda think it is a spectrum, once it crosses beyond a diaper, for me it seems like it is on a spectrum of AB. I think of myself at more of an AK (a 5 year old in diapers still). I have some independence, I don't crawl around. But I like the safety of a care giver and my diaper.

That´s a perfect short description... I´m also not really baby but a 4-5 year old diapered full time who lives as big little boy.

 

[Chrissie]

There’s a woman in her twenties where I live who has a natural child like way about her and wears clothes that could be associated with a little person.
I wouldn’t be surprised if she was a little but, that maybe just wishful thinking on my part.
