UPDATE (November 2025): I'm awaiting formal evaluation for possible temporal lobe epilepsy. Many of the 'sensory issues' I attributed to autism may have been seizure-related. If you're autistic and considering psilocybin, please get screened for epilepsy first - approximately 20-30% of autistic people have epilepsy (often undiagnosed). Psychedelics can affect seizure threshold. For harm reduction information, see my follow-up video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oa_3xZ5vTDY In this episode, I examine all the ways that autism disabled my life - ways that I was never aware of until they were gone. Texture issues from autism restricted my deep breathing and impacted my sleep as well because I was unable to filter out noises. Now - I'm breathing deeply, I can sleep at night because my brain can filter out noises finally. My entire life has changed from this experience and I have hope for hundreds of thousands of other suffering autistic people. And above all - a new level of emotional human connection is available to me and I can feel the emotions from other people. Mushrooms - Psilocybin - is truly the medicine to cure the disabling aspects of autism without changing the underlying personality or the autistic strengths. I hope to create a new world from the inside out where both autism and Psilocybin are actively studied, legalized, analyzed, and fairly understood.
