Additions and Changes

Some readers might have noticed a decrease in the apparent rate of new content creation at Understanding.Infantilism.Org. The ABDL Survey Project has led to some new and interesting observations. Introducing these to the scientific body of knowledge involves submitting to the peer review process. While time-consuming and uncertain, this process also requires that these observations be published in journals first, before being shared online.

After publication, these papers will be summarized at Understanding.Infantilism.Org and, if practical, made open (as opposed to visible only to subscribers of the medical journals).

Additionally, the ABDL Survey Project has opened doorways for collaboration: I have been able to help multiple teams refine their own questionnaires, further broadening the understanding of infantilism.
