i don’t know where to start this, but shrooms have cured my aspergers. i was diagnosed when i was like 6 years old, and have struggled socially my whole life. i wasted my teens years hermiting in my room by myself, terrified of socializing with others. i was a socially awkward mess who would constantly offend people because i couldn’t understand social norms.

then one night i took 3 grams of golden teachers with a buddy. i never tripped, but they gave me so much energy!! And then i noticed something. I could look my buddy in the eyes and talk with confidence. never in my life have i been able to do this. so i took more the next week (5g golden teachers) and still didn’t trip but experienced the same energy and social boost.

I find it weird that i don’t trip on shrooms, but after looking it up, I read that people with aspergers have a lower density of receptors in which psychedelic molecules bind to (serotonin 2A receptors) in key brain regions. this would explain my unnaturally high tolerance, and how 5g doesn’t make me trip but 3g of the same batch makes my friends trip balls. what i have noticed while i take shrooms though is extreme connection to the world around me, extreme deep thinking that has lasted well after the trip has ended, intense urge to socialize with others, openness to new ideas and willingness to try new things (which is HUGE!!! as an autistic person I’ve always been stuck to rigid routine), and boosted empathy.

After noticing these great effects it has on me, i tried microdosing for a month. and for the first time in my life i can understand other people’s emotions. For the first time i have empathy. I feel a connection to the world and other people i’ve never felt before. I’ve broken out of my shell and joined a few friend groups. i finally got a girlfriend who loves me, and i have the capability to love her back now, and provide for her emotional needs that i didn’t even know existed 6 months ago! I’m not a socially awkward mess anymore, and i take into consideration how what i say affects other people.

i can’t believe this isn’t researched more.

EDIT: yeah clearly i’m not cured of autism, i was exaggerating. i still stim, have special interests, have general autistic tendencies, etc. i’m just saying i can finally read facial expressions, body language, tone of voice. i can understand what other people are thinking now, and connect with it. i can empathize with other people properly, and have gained a confidence i’ve never had before. i am well aware autism cannot just be “cured”
