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.

  • A word of warning, though:

    MDMA is more commonly known as Ecstacy.  

    Rightly or wrongly, MDMA aka Ecstacy is currently classified as a Class A drug in the UK and it is a criminal offence to possess, use, sell, possess with intent to sell, etc.

    Unless legitimiately prescribed by a medical professional and used under strict medical guidance by the person it has been prescribed to, it's usage is a criminal offence.  (Indeed, with the possible exception of Home Office licensed medical trials, it may be even illegal for genuine medical usage, for all I know; and may somebody correct me if I am wrong.)
