Is there such a thing as partial age regression? Can mild Autism cause age regression?

I'm fully aware that I'm an adult and I'm into fun adult things, but my mind isn't all there. Like I can't handle a lot of adult responsibilities at all. I seem to only be able to do household chores well. I'm 24 and I've never had a full-time job and I know I can't handle the stress of one. I'd have a meltdown within the first month.
I secretly want to be taken care of in every way by an older man even if that means I have little to no say in everyday decisions. I live in my imagination and find myself daydreaming a lot. I occasionally speak and whine like a kid without being able to help it. Apparently, I wasn't taught potty training very well because I find using diapers to be second nature instantly. I naturally want to suck on things. And since I've accepted that I'm a little boy playing with toys, arts and crafts, and watching kid shows has become an automatic stress relief for me and a safe way for me to declutter my mind.
I don't think it's little space because it's near-constant, but I don't think it's full age regression either because I know I'm an adult. Could it be my autism? It's very mild. If you spoke to me irl you wouldn't think I'm neurodivergent, but it does affect me mentally in ways that people who don't know me very well wouldn't see.
Is this a form of age regression? Or am I just stuck in little space?
