What the... you want to use your Asperger's to obtain illicit drugs, or is there prescription medication available specifically for Asperger's? In that case, the answer is no - you can't get medication specifically for Asperger's.

There aren't any specific drugs for autism/AS. There are drugs for some of the co-morbid conditions such as depression, anxiety etc. I personally wouldn't reccomend drugs unless your life is absolutely non-existant. I am on Citalopram and it has ruined my stomach. Other drug side-effects can be nasty too. It's better to try and go it alone.
