Just saying because nearly every person I know who has ADHD and/or Autism (including myself) seems to care less about people knowing they're into "childish" things.

Also the idea that this is a new phenomenon because Millenials and older gen Z are "soft" or stunted in some way.

I mean, boomers have model trains and and cars. So did their parents. My grandma used to knit herself plushies. This isn't new. You don't suddenly stop having your old likes because you reach a certain age.

    it's ok to enjoy things, including childish things. I play video games and watch anime. I always got the impression a Disney adult isn't someone who simply enjoys Disney things, but rather, their personality is consumption and they can't decide who they are without attaching brands to themselves

    it would work with any brand. Imagine someone who follows all the news about Colgate toothpaste, wears a Colgate logo shirt, cuddles with Toothy the Toothbuddy™ Colgate® Official Stuffed animal and that's their entire personality. And they're not even a dentist, they just love the brand
