Personally, I think there's definitely a huge chunk of people on the spectrum here.
Why people on the spectrum should beware of psychedelics
Why people on the spectrum should beware of psychedelics
Sensory Sensitivities: People on the autism spectrum often have sensory sensitivities, and hallucinogens can intensify sensory experiences. This heightened sensitivity could potentially lead to more overwhelming or negative effects during a hallucinogenic experience.
Emotional Regulation: Autism is associated with difficulties in emotional regulation. Hallucinogens can cause intense emotional experiences, which may be harder for someone with HFA/ASD to manage.
Cognitive Processing Differences: Autistic individuals often have unique cognitive processing styles, and hallucinogens can significantly alter thought patterns and perceptions. This shift in thinking may be unsettling or difficult to integrate for someone with autism.
Co-Occurring Conditions: Many people with autism have co-occurring conditions like anxiety or depression. Hallucinogens could potentially exacerbate these conditions during use.
Anxiety and Co-Occurring Conditions: Individuals with autism are more likely to have co-occurring conditions like anxiety or obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Hallucinogens can potentially exacerbate these conditions during use.
