Asperger's Syndrome and MDMA

Jon

I was wondering what peoples thoughts regarding MDMA use and Asperger's Syndrome. I appreciate that this is probably a little controversial. I also appreciate that nobody on this forum would actually have taken MDMA because that would be illegal. However they may know a 'friend of a friend' who has or has read something about the subject.

A quick search on the internet came up with this:

Danforth Research Project

The study intended to explore Adult Autism and MDMA use. The results do not appear to have been published yet. More information about the researcher can be found here.

I also found a request for another research proposal here.

I am unsure that I agree with 'medication' to 'treat' Asperger's'. However I am very interested in understanding Asperger's beyond the 'traits'.

Understanding, acceptance and appreciation of peoples differences is what I see as a positive way forwards.

    I am glad about that. From what little I have heard of MDMA is can cause brain damage so I think it beast avoided.

    If that were true there would literally be millions of brain damaged adults living in this country.

    That's because millions of adults living in this country have used, and do use, MDMA on regular basis for, in some cases, many years.

    There is actually very little good evidence that moderate MDMA use causes any long term changes to the brain.
