I guarantee he does not. That's part of the fetishism and role-playing that apparently they are both into.
I'm thinking his girlfriend is into poo poo.
Sorry to break the news— but... no... she changes his diapers. Maybe come to think of it she might be a little more disordered than he is-
And.... if she gets sick or they break up, who will feed him and change him and soothe him during a tantrum? lol lol
It baffles me how his gf( mommy..?) talks with a straight face on tv how she spends most her money on his baby play toys and stuff
From what I understand of baby man and his gf/ mommy it’s not a sexual thing - it’s just how he insists on living- laying in his jammies drinking his baba in a crib. Mmm i think he is like someone said “just a man who doesn’t wanna work”

As Sally Jessey would say "THAT is a whole other show."
If it's a behavioral choice, isn't hindering his life, and nobody is being harmed, what's to seek professional help for? Serious question.
Don't misunderstand, I'm in mental health. I'm very pro therapy as needed. But for people who are perfectly happy in their lives (even when their lives are far from what is considered culturally normal) and who aren't harming anybody, and who aren't experiencing major hindrances in functioning, it's hard to think of a reason they'd seek therapy, or what they'd want to get out of it. It would be a waste of their time and a therapist's time to address something that they're not experiencing as a problem.
People are into weird stuff. If it works for them and isn't hurting anybody, though, who cares?
I’m very compassionate towards anyone who has a true mental health disorder, but some things you just have to call a spade a spade, imho— I agree with other persons thoughts it’s basically a man who just doesn’t want to work ( or do anything except drink a bottle and lay around playing w baby toys

But he doesn’t have to act like a baby in order to get disability and not work. His disability was granted because he has posttraumatic stress disorder, not because he wants to be a baby. He could get the same disability by wearing adult clothes and acting as an adult. Your theory presupposes that if he started acting like an adult they would remove his disability from him it is not the case.

Right? It's amazing how bad at analysis people are - can't be bothered to read or think things through.
The man's infantilism is not considered his disability. His disability is PTSD. People here are conflating two separate things. They don't give benefits for infantilism, people.
Infantilism is not new. Most people who practice it, also hold down normal jobs. They leave the infantilism at home.
It is thought to be a reaction to the stresses of adult life in some cases. Since this man has PTSD, he obviously has experienced some major stress. This is his method of retreating to a time when he had no stresses.
First when I saw it I was just speechless and couldn’t believe my eyeballs- then I couldn’t stop laughing At the utter ridiculousness of it, straight absurd.
I really just.cant.believe. it.
A grown a** man, telling Dr Phil that he has a “adult baby disorder” that causes him for blah blah reasons to have to “live like a baby, complete with a custom made high chair, crib, toys, bottle and custom made “baby clothes and jammies “
and a girlfriend who I’m not sure which one is the sicker one of the two because his girlfriend obliges his “need to be a giant baby” and with a straight face reports most of her money is spent on his baby clothes, toys, etc
He is apparently not even embarrassed to sit there on national tv as if he is discussing his college program, that he’s indeed, he spends life laying in his adult size “crib” and drinking his bottle.
Then mentions he sometimes in his high chair will throw his food or have
tantrums. His girlfriend spoon feeds him his baby food while he says “no no, mama, waahhhh!!” bangs on tray for more baby food.
I’m just, wow, what? Is this for real? I didn’t hear him mention any family
Members but I have to wonder what his family would say. “well he always was a crybaby?”
Literally?
One person said no, it’s just a man who doesn’t want to work.
Good God, my dad is rolling over in his grave- adult baby man...what?
Will public places now have to provide adult size high chairs for people with adult baby syndrome? ROFLMAO
We need to stop praising people like this for "being so brave". He's definitely got a mental illness, but I agree with that one person who said he's just lazy. There's nothing for him to be proud of here. Telling everyone he acts like a giant baby is not a proud moment, nor is acting like one.
NO, he is NOT getting disability payments for this "disorder"; he's getting disability payments for OTHER things: "Thornton argued that his adult baby lifestyle had nothing to do with his eligibility for SSI, which he claims stems from post-traumatic stress syndrome, back problems, depression, ADHD and other factors. ... The official investigation into Thornton’s SSI eligibility ended recently when Thornton received a letter from the SSA stating that his disability status had not been found to have changed ..."
Note, SSI isn't the easiest thing to get and requires a ton of documentation. I know it's very easy to get outraged at stories like this (I find it pretty appalling too), but at least try to get the facts correct.
This is true. It is hard to get disability, but people do it, often with the aid of attorneys who specialize in this.
Possibly the PTSD was a trigger for the Adult Baby Syndrome? I still think people who have this set of symptoms are to be pitied, not ridiculed or laughed at. There is something disturbed about their coping skills, IMO.
I've read about this person. I do believe he has mental health issues but I don't believe his "disorder" should necessarily be legitimized. I think there is some sexual fetish going on and I don't think the taxpayer should be subsidizing this.
What does this have to do with taxpayers?
