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 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.

Probably. Any Asperger’s kid around wanting to try some science?
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 appreciate you sharing that link. That doesn’t look particularly pleasant to me.
That is remarkably accurate.
