The Americal Public Broadcasting System (PBS America) broadcasted this fascinating documentary on the positive theraputic and permament effects of psilocybin on the brains of poeple suffering with acute addictions providing it is administered in a professionally controlled environment. This is still under continued research.
My hope is MODS will recognise the congruity between the parts of our brains affected with addictions---as presented in this documentary---and those same brain parts (pre-frontal cortex,amygdala) that affects ASD, before deciding to delete this thread owing to the inclusion of the below link despite my intention to highlight this scientific research as a possible future ray of hope for those of us who are at odds with their ASD condition. The American Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is closely looking at this.
