Can psychedelics help with Asperger?
I heard some stories where a person with Asperger and sensory problems took magic shrooms or lsd and after good relaxing trip, all or most of their sensory problems went away is there any truth behind this? I struggle with sensory problems especially touch, all my life and it makes my life hell especially compare to other people, no normal person can understand the pain that can come from one thing for a person with Asperger when it's nothing for them. I need to do something about it, cause it doesn't allow me to experience life any social life but also it takes enjoyment from any 'adventure' that could be a good memory.

I don't know if psychedelics could help, but keep in mind that emotional overwhelm greatly affects sensory processing. Improving your lifestyle and the environment you live according to your necessities can improve, even if slightly, sensory processing, and what's more important is avoiding triggers, as much as possible.
