I watched a video recently on YouTube, an Adam Conover video about MDMA. How its supposedly going to get FDA clearance next year to help with Veterans PTSD. They discussed how MDMA brings the brain into a state of elasticity similar to children, which is what makes it easier to learn things like another language when your a kid. In a different source I read about how children with Autism can go through therapies that could significantly help, some pages specifically talked about age windows for those kinds of therapy. I believe this is due to the same Elasticity.

Would it be a stretch then for MDMA to have potential medicinal applications for helping struggling autistic adults? By restoring that elasticity and doing targeted therapy sessions?

Disclaimer, I am not a neuroscientist, just a struggling adult. Not telling anyone to go out an do anything, wanting thoughtful discussion.

    The trick to doing MDMA recreationally is to do it when you’re depressed as fuck! Can’t have a depression hangover if that’s how you feel all the time!
