What do psychedelics like shrooms do to people with ASD

Post Reply New Topic

there was a time in my life when i really liked doing this (strong doses & often), but it's been ages.

i had many interesting experiences, 99% positive, but what i'd like to focus on was a certain persistent illusion it gave me: that i could read minds.

i've had occasion to wonder lately whether i had simply become aware of the normal information flow that a neurotypical gets from body language, temporarily. since i don't in usual circumstances interpret this wisely or well (if at all), such a transformation might indeed create an illusion of knowingness. (it never occurred to me at the time to test this belief.)

although my psychedelicized self was, if anything, better co-ordinated than my regular one, i can't recommend this as anything resembling a "chemical cure"--because, you might say, one of the first things to go is a sense of the way you are supposed to act, or at the very least, a huge disinclination to do so.

I had that too for a while, that was from what can only be rubbishly described as a 'spiritual' experience.

I did once discover the power of loving kindness on a hallucinogen, and that mostly stuck with me.

I am neither here nor there on drug use. I think it's interesting stuff, but gotta be done with care. Do your research kids.
