I don't know if this thread will get pulled or not I hope it doesn't. I self-identify as being on the spectrum. I've gone off reading and resesrching about autism since I have developed a very keen interest in psychedelics. Not to take. But ive been reading up about a particular one since the Monday just after Christmas when a very brief conversation with a friend set the spark going.
It's like I cannot get enough of it. YouTube, forums, articles, studies. I bought a book by rick strassman and read it inside a week and a half. I finished it tonight so ive been looking at what other books i can buy. Ive stsrted in a youtube audio book by terencr mckenna. I've been looking online at which psychedelics I could grow in my garden. I've been reading about microdosing. I've been reading accounts of people's trips. I've been looking into how to take part in research. Reading up about the powerful effevts is changing how i see the wotld and im changing my beliefs from material to spiritual. I have only talked to one person about it all as he's very open to "talking deep".
I still wonder if I'm on the spectrum. (And it's not just because of interests... I have plenty of other reasons too...)
Does anyone else share this interest?
Has anyone got any first hand experience of this subject?
This is interesting this thread has re-ignited. I'd be careful what you say...I got reprimanded last year and the forum rules were changed last year in response to something I set off about psychedelics on another thread.
I'll read all the responses in a bit - there's quite a lot!
check out paul stammets and alan rockefeller. i think both are usa based, both interested in mushrooms and probably microdosing. stammets for sure. but alan rockefeller has a lot of youtube videos on shrooms - worth checking out. i happen to live in one of the only places in the usa where psylocybin (sp?) is not illegal (i think?). which is oakland, ca. yea, oakland! i've tried them, but not a huge fan, personally.. but i feel microdosing of it is well worth study.
i hope this site encourages free speech of substances that may have been stigmatized int he past, but is now having worthwhile research done. but stifling communication on this site of psylocybin would be...........well....................very NT-like. lol, super duper ironically.
Yes I've been listening to Stamets on Spotify. He's a dude. Not heard of Alan Rockerfeller.
I don't think its "NT" like. There are rules in society (whether I agree with them or not is another matter) and they have a responsibility to keep people safe. I'm sure there are other forums on the internet where it could be more openly discussed
yea that is a deliberate ongoing thing used in the Series Cheers as well. I love it.
ah, yes...amy.... i could never figure out what in the world was going on between her and... that guy... noah? the guy that is somehow connected to her, but isn't.

i like glen a lot, he's great. but there's a young, tallish, good looking white guy. idk much about him, but in a few clips he comes off as really weird, like off his rocker (more even than the others)... i've had to watch clips of superstore on youtube. it's off the air here, afaik. i like cheyenne also.... dina, not so much, because she's a clone of dwight schrute of the american office. i'm not into clones.....
who's your favorite, ifyou have one?
oh maybe they did lleave it open ended in case of a sequel ..... hadnt thought of that
Superstore : do u mean glen the manager because he is hilarious
oh, i assumed he was possibly alive... there were mentions of his crazy swimming in the olympics, or some foreshadowing thing... superstore is great.. i guess i like the tall white guy, who appears utterly normal, but seems to be a real phreako underneath.
i assumed he was ---- i watching Superstore ( comedy based in USA supermarket ) . It very funny and the characters are great.
yeah... yanks is i guess super old fashioned... even kind of before my time. i wondered what you didn't like about the ending of the guard... afair, it's unclear if the protagonist was killed or not... altho everyone assumes he was. i'm assuming he wasn't, cause he was that kind of "bloke"... i guess bloke refers to english guys...
USA people are exactly the same as any other bunch of people they vary just the same. Depends where u are but "Yanks" is kinda fading,,,,,, its just "Americans" now.
yeah. kind of mean, altho yanks can be loud jerks....not sure if people over there still refer to us as yanks....
Americans have to be so careful in Ireland especially asking for directions ---- i knew people would send all Americas in the complete apposite direction to where they had asked to go. Just as a "Joke". Such a horrible thing to do.
I watched that film. I didnt like the ending. The highlighting of anti-protestant bigotry bits where however accurate
yeah... everyone hunts here. well, not everyone, but it's common. i fish, and am very conflicted about being happy when i catch some poor fish with my hook... well, pretty conflicted, at least. i try to release any that i don't keep as quickly and safely (to them and me) as possible. mushrooms certainly can be dangerous...
off topic, i saw a movie set in ireland, 'the guard'. i think it was set in ireland. i no at one point the american is wandering around knocking on people's doors for information, and they respond in this very unusual language. unusual to an american, at least, lol.
