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”?

    @Jojowski @ICastFist oh, I should have mentioned. There’s studies showing that autistic “social difficulties” disappear when we’re with other autistics.

    So we get the closest feeling to “normal” when we’re hanging out only with other autistics, likewise if they want the closest feeling to being one of us they should attend an event in which they’re the only allistic.
