>When an infant becomes aware of its shortcomings—the inability to satisfy its own hunger cravings or self-soothe, for example—its focus and hope shifts to its caregiver. *But as its caregiver reliably fails over time*, the infant becomes cognizant that its caregiver is not its only recourse in life, allowing the infant to individuate.
You're amazing. And comfort objects are super important to me as an autistic person! Especially soft strokable stims, so much sympathy for your sister!
Holy shit I’m crying this is good. Loved the imagery of railing lines with night time friends!!! Condolences to Dr Quittner for kidnapping of Zeebie but also bcuz he was blind and couldn’t see it coming 💔
Frank once stole 10 bucks from me and broke both my kneecaps!
Fully cried reading about Zeebie
I still have a teddy bear and I’m married with kids...
Whoa. Is this a sub-substack?
