In the 4th grade, I hit my head after stepping on a soccer ball in the parking lot. Full feet swept off the ground motion. I had a lamp fall on my head and break around the 5th grade. Nothing serious that I can remember. My memory is horrible though, My history fades as I age. Comparing myself to others that I know I feel like I should remember more details in my life. Memories to me are more like looking at a photo album that actually recalling events.

You have me thinking now. I have not been diagnosed on the spectrum or even been assessed. I was diagnosed with ADHD and put on a drug back in the late 80's early 90's, but I stopped taking it in the mid-'90s. The interesting part is my son was diagnosed as having Autism when he was 3 in 2014. Not qualified to make any correlations, but it is hard to hear your story and not pass up a possible relation. Thanks.

Yea, not really trying to replicate, just curious why I am so different. Nice to hear I am not the only person that experiences psychedelics this way. Thanks for the quick reply.

Thank you for taking the time to answer my question. I had my first experience with LSD in December of 2016. Since then I have become a completely different person. Fast forward to today and I do not experience what I would consider a psychedelic trip using psychedelics. On LSD I get clarity of mind and I would describe it as peaceful and being able to operate with no anxiety. I am able to look at the moment without judgement and really just enjoy the day. However, I do not see visuals or have any problem functioning on a normal day to day level. My wife is fascinated that they don't affect me as they do her. It does not matter if I take a tab or 5. Also, I recently took 7.5g of shrooms (Only 3rd time taking mushrooms) and experienced no visuals. I had an Ayahuasca experience in February as well. I did not really trip visually, but again was able to go deep in thought and figure something things out internally for myself that has helped my growth. The only other thing I have to add is if I add weed in I can trip my balls off. Visuals and all. I choose not to do this though because the pure stream of thought and the ability it gives me to really analyze my internal dialogue is what I want. Maybe I have taken too many I don't know, but everyone else that takes a psychedelic around me has the world melt around them at times. I have never experienced anything like that without adding in marijuana. Just looking for the opinion of other psychonauts. I feel like @Leo Gura has the most experience with psychedelics out of anyone I have read or studied. So figured this forum was a good place to start. Thanks again for taking the time to read this and I appreciate any insight you all might give me.
