It is said that ‘no one gets out of childhood unharmed’. And for diaper-wearers and Adult Babies, it is way too true. This is one of those truisms that understands that we all carry some scars and drag around some burden that developed in childhood. Despite the best efforts of parents, family, teachers and those around us, there are always things we pick up along the way that causes us a measure of trouble or difficulty later on. Parents are not perfect and Mary Poppins is not real. Life is full of mistakes, failings and weakness, even in the best of people. Fortunately for most of us, these childhood-grown issues are relatively small and well within our capacity to manage and live with. But not everyone is so lucky. This new book by Dylan Lewis – the third in the series – explores the issue of early childhood, where our memories do not reach, but the effects are still felt today. For Adult Babies, there is an element of difficulty or trauma that was most likely trivial to everyone else, but ‘wounding’ to ABs. Go on a journey of discovery with Dylan Lewis and Healing Childhood Wounds.

Knowing who you are and what your personal identity is will always be a powerful and important goal. For diaper wearers and adult babies of course, this is complicated by the duality of nature - part infant and part adult. Understanding that is terribly difficult and for most, we end up staggering through life, not really sure who we are, how we came to be and how to feel good about ourselves. These FOURbooks in one volume lay a great psychological foundation on the issues of Adult Regression and a worthy read for anyone interested in the topic, either as an observer or as a participant. If you are an adult baby or related to one, this book will give you a deeper understanding of just why ABDLs exists and how to understand why it is not something you can just decided to give up or stop doing. It is part of the identity and therefore, part of who we truly are.

Dylan Lewis' fourth book of the Adult Baby Identity quadrilogy: a self-help guide. Knowing who we are as individuals is the most important journey in our lives and for many, it is the most difficult one. Even for people we call ‘vanilla’, with no apparent kinks and oddities, it is a herculean task. But when you are an Adult Baby, it is a vastly more complex mission. Add being sissy to the mix and we are already pushing uphill and failing miserably. But if we don’t know who we are, we act as if we are someone we are not. We try to create a personality not fully our own. We create masks and in doing so, we create problems for ourselves and others around us. This is the true value of books like this and others along the same vein. ABDL is not like other identity problems. It is unique, different and requires a perspective all of its own. It is not about gender – although gender issues can be involved. It is not about sexual preference – although that can be involved as well. It is primarily about age, and being powerfully driven back to a time of life most have left behind and yet, we still literally inhabit.

Dylan Lewis, in conjunction with Dax Jordan, has put together a lengthy and substantive book that addresses the crucial elements of the Adult Baby identity - a question that plagues us all. The author makes a well-researched and brilliantly written case that the core of the Adult Baby Identity is one that fits on the dissociation spectrum. It may be a long way from the Dissociative Identity Disorder we know much about, but it is still on that spectrum, if at the other end of it. If you are an adult baby or you live with one, this is THE book that will clue you in to who you are, how you behave and why you do what you do. A 65,000 word meticulously researched book that belongs on the bookshelves of every AB, every partner of an AB and every therapist tasked with helping an AB find the balance and understanding they so desperately crave. One of the best books on the topic ever written.

Understanding. Knowledge. Insight. It is the goal of most people and humanity in general to understand and to gain knowledge. To understand our natural world. To understand space. To understand those things so tiny we can never see them. We want to understand what other people are saying, insight into what they are feeling and what makes them tick. For most people, it is natural to want to understand more about a wide variety of topics and disciplines. Perhaps the most important understanding of them all is the knowledge of self. Adult babies have traditionally not fared well in the area of understanding of ourselves. The few professional attempts to explain ABDL behaviour and thinking have been less than helpful and often insulting and deeply offensive. Being described as a paraphilia alongside and adjacent to paedophilia and other serious disorders has been the nightmare that has haunted the community for a generation. Slowly however, the light has been dawning on the extraordinary world of the adult baby. The first step was the recognition that being an adult baby is no mere affectation, fetish or odd choice of behaviour. It was the understanding that the baby self is a genuine and subjectively real identity. Not a thing, not a concept or a feeling, but an identity. A few professionals have belatedly drifted onto the scene and made a few inroads, but they have been well behind the small group of hard-working ABDLs themselves who have sought to build a body of understanding on who we are. Knowing who we are is the key to success, happiness and the ability to move forward. The works of B. Terrance Grey, Rosalie and Michael Bent led the way to building an intellectual basis of understanding of who Adult babies are. Then came Dylan Lewis, whose canon of work in this area has no peer. This new book – Living Happily as an Adult Baby – makes a promise in its title that is almost obscene in its arrogance. Adult Babies have often struggled with the power of their baby identity and happiness - especially long-term happiness – has often eluded them. This work is commended to all adult babies, their family and friends as it seeks to further humanity’s understanding of this most complex identity structure. The Adult Baby.

We don't play with baby toys just for something to do. We do it because part of our identity mix is that of an infant.
