Asking because my gf has ADHD and she told me that, the first time she took ritalin (methylphenidate), she thought to herself “So this is what it feels like to not have ADHD?”

That got me thinking, is there a drug that has a similar effect on autists, that allows them to experience what is it like to “not have autism”?

      I get a lot more talkative, like stupid chatty drunk, but my faulty social filters end up failing more often, so I don’t think that could be considered a “normie experience”. If I go a bit overboard with alcohol, I get super depressed.

        For me a couple drinks makes me more social, less literal, and less prone to overthinking. For me, the key is not overdoing it, starting in the tipsy pocket without leaning into drunk.
