Asperger's Syndrome and MDMA

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.

    Thankfully as an individual with asperger's, I have never felt the need to take drugs, smoke, or abuse alcohol. 

    Hi Hope, what do you mean by 'Thankfully as an individual with Asopergers'? Are you saying that it is the norm for people with Aspergers not to take drugs, smoke or abuse alcohol?

    'take' drugs but 'abuse' alcohol - thats an interesting distinction.
