Clinical trials investigating MDMA-assisted therapy (MDMA-AT) for social anxiety in autistic adults have shown promising results, indicating that the substance—when used in a controlled clinical setting—can help manage social anxiety symptoms that have previously been resistant to conventional treatments.

Here is a summary of the current landscape based on clinical research as of early 2026:

Clinical Trials and Results for ASD

• Initial Findings (2018): A pilot study published in Psychopharmacology conducted by Dr. Alicia Danforth and colleagues found that autistic adults with marked-to-severe social anxiety experienced durable improvements 6 months after two MDMA-assisted sessions. Participants reported increased feelings of empathy, ease of communication, and reduced distress in social situations.
• Mechanism: The trials showed that MDMA can foster intense empathy, reduce fear of social evaluation, and increase feelings of safety and authenticity.
• Focus on Social Anxiety: The aim is not to "cure" autism, but to treat social anxiety disorder (SAD), which is prevalent in roughly 1 in 4 autistic adults.
• Current Status (2026): While MDMA-assisted therapy for PTSD has moved further along (with Australia beginning to allow psychiatrist treatment in 2025/2026), research into its specific application for autism is continuing to expand to larger samples to verify these early findings.

Utter bogus utter nonsense sense thread.

Only solution to lower autistic traits is lowering inhibition, which can be done by stimulants like xanax & adderall. Why would u take a party drug for it ?

Okay

What about pregablin?

And Adderall is expensive on the dark net compared to ritalin or concerta vynase

Idk how to get Xanax. Maybe I should just ask doc
