How many specific, successful autism transformation stories do you know? Would you mind sharing?

What I know so far, is that lighter forms of autism, such as aspherghers, are reversable if you start "treating" them early (since childhood).

That was kinda my case, tbh. I was behaving normally until about age of 3 (which is common for all autists), and that's when I started to develop some of the sympthoms, such as sensory overload, intense focus on strange things, repeating the same thing over and over again, memorizing songs for no reason and repeating them over and over, ignoring everyone around me, zero need for social interaction, unique interests, etc. But, the strongest effects dissapeared throught time, throught the process of socialization. I still got some though, to this day.

Once you start entering adulthood, the probability of change gets lower, albeit probably possible. Idk. I know about Owen's pickup transformation, but idk if he was trully autistic, or if he made it all up.

Having said all that, the people on the extreme side of the spectrum, are not treatable, as far as I know. Those are the ones who ignore everyone around them, bang their heads on the walls, live in their own world 24/7, and have to be taken care of for their entire lives. I don't think that's reversable.

@Nos7algiK is the first person who I've heard of who had a similar experience to myself. 

I haven't fully transcended or embodied all my insights into autism from my trips, but I'm in the process of figuring that out, and given my experience with psychidelics I believe/know it's possible to transcend virtually every characteristic associated with autism.

I can't speak for everyone, but if you have an authentic desire to transcend your condition you will find a way.

Psychidelics showed me that your physical/mental coordination, emotional capacity/range, etc can be all radically transformed. I literally felt the internal parts of my brain tingling and transforming during my trips, so just because you are older and have a brain condition does mean that it cannot be changed.

I'm just sharing that it's possible to transcend this stuff, because theres a belief that this condition is permanent and I just want to burst that bubble. If anyone out there believes they are stuck with their condition, I wanted to call it out as BS
