AB/DL Survey #2 Part 3 Results

Sections: Part 0 - 1 - 2 - Interests - 3 - Conditions - 4 - Changes - 5 - Fantasy Diapers

Edit 14 December 2016: These results have been updated per the tenth year standards update.

A number of conditions have become associated with infantilism because of one patient who had both infantilism and that condition. Clearly, this sample size is too small to rule out coincidence. For almost any condition, there is a chance that an AB/DL might have it. The unknown would be whether AB/DLs were any more or less likely to have a certain condition than non AB/DLs.

While more analysis is needed, a quick glance over the results can show that most AB/DLs are without any particular condition. As a result, generalizing that infantilism is a form of one condition on the list would be incorrect. However, one in ten AB/DLs believe a condition on the list caused them to become AB/DLs. Since the list includes incontinence, this isn't surprising.
