How can you tell a person may secretly like diapers and wetting? Is it in their body language? tone of voice? what kind of things point to a person who may be ABDL.

So far only one person has commented that they recognized it. I also wear a blue plastic bracelet with paw prints and "crinkle, crinkle" on it sometimes. No one has ever asked about it.
Good question. I don't know. I knew of it only through Google. There's a vendor at MFF that sells the patch in two sizes, though. She's usually in a corner of the Dealers' Den near the leather goods vendors.neophyte said:I had no idea this symbol existed! Is this a common knowledge thing among the ABDL community?
Not widely. For a time the secret symbol displayed was a safety/diaper pin attached to clothing/bags. It was subtle. I think that lost favor as it sort of became a meme that represented "safe places" and those that find humor in "safe place". It's also been used by a few other communities to represent different things.neophyte said:I had no idea this symbol existed! Is this a common knowledge thing among the ABDL community?

That's a good way to stay alert for suresbmccue said:I imagine the obvious diaper pin on clothing or bags has gone out of favor. Rose Kennedy wore one as an adult; she kept notes to herself pinned to her dress. Even if I'd spotted one in the 80s and 90s I'd have been wary of approaching the individual displaying it.
I have a little game I like to play with myself: I try to see if I can hear a female say 'diaper' at least once each day. I count conversations - even overheard - and commercials on TV, etc.
But I have a very dear friend who I'm guessing is at least a DL because a mention of diapers slips into every conversation she has ... even with other people. Since her youngest daughter is now a teenager, 'diapers' are often associated with the daughter's babysitting experiences. On days when I am not successful with my little audible game, I know I can pick up the phone and have her fill my quota without any prompting on my part!
So, to answer the OP's question, I think language and frequency of use are giveaways.
It is a small sample size and not a very good representation. I also don't think that you can really define the sect in those terms. One only has to peruse the "stories" written by this community to come to a very different conclusion. It is quite flattering though.ShyatFirst said:And as we now see here ADBLs seem to be very articulate, descriptive, and have keen analytical process acumen.
Your response just backed up my observation LOLLlayden said:It is a small sample size and not a very good representation. I also don't think that you can really define the sect in those terms.
