Too bad the article is paywalled
It is. This seems to be an article about the study, which I think is in pre-print.
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.
I’m here! I’ve done acid and shrooms several times. I can talk about my experiences, but I have no idea if others experience it similarly.
Here’s a trip simulator that I find is pretty close to the visual experience: https://youtu.be/3BxiYkCPZwI?si=dVD6sPpk7KdhFx3e
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
Tilting my bio-cartridge.
Does that mean we are living with vsync on?
