Proud to Be a Kidult. Top Story - September 2026.
Whenever an adult likes things from their childhood, such as toys and trading cards, most people would call them "childish" or that they need to "grow up". I've heard those things many times from others and I never cared about if they found my interests weird or unusual. As an autistic adult, I've always liked action figures or any toys I grew up playing. Adults in general who enjoy those things don't mean that something is wrong with them mentally. It gives them comfort and a sense of ease. We all have our vices, and no one should be shamed for them. The term kidult and the trend of kidulting isn't a new trend. The former term dates back to the 1950s when adults enjoyed shows that were geared towards children.

'Heavenly Bodies' (1985) - Spandex, Sweat, and the Great Canadian Aerobics Cash-In
There was a moment in the 1980s when it seemed like every woman in America was wearing a leotard. Not just any leotard. A brightly colored one, preferably with a belt. Maybe some leg warmers. Definitely a headband. The hair was big, the music was loud, and somewhere in the background, a woman was shouting instructions about tightening her buns.
