    Considering that autistic people have hyper connectivity within brain sections but hypo connectivity between them, I wonder if psychedelics hit them noticeably different from normies.

      Probably. Any Asperger’s kid around wanting to try some science?

          I didn’t take a high dose, but I saw the walls of the room breathe. That was cool. But the most impact was on the other senses. Hearing, touch, proprioception, heat/cold…

          I would feel the bedsheets with my hand and that feeling would wash over my whole body. I couldn’t tell where the bed ended and where my girlfriend started. We knocked over a bag of snacks and I could hear every single one of them hitting the ground, instead of a diffuse sound.

          It’s like your brain doesn’t filter and process the sensory inputs anymore, giving it to your conscious mind raw. It’s overwhelming experience, in a good way. Sort of like a childhood winner coming back.

          If you can get yourself comfortable and safe to avoid bad trips, 10/10 would recommend.

          That’s a 10g high of penis envy mushrooms for me.

          Wait… do I have aspergers…

          Edit: Video creator did a fantastic job… watched the rest of it. Cot damn, now I want shrooms for upcoming weekend.

          The only thing different is that my vision also had an overlay of hexagons tightly connected.

        I don’t know that I’m autistic enough. Seemed to have a similar experience with both Shrooms and LSD as everyone else. I’ve only had one bad trip, and it was shrooms. A little Ativan and some company and I pulled through. It is usually a very happy, warm, and enlightening experience
