I personally suffer from mild ASD (diagnosed) , and it is now having a progressively more destructive effect on my life. While ASD makes remembering and learning a single topic super easy (psychoactive substances is my topic of choice), it make me anxious, causes me to express severe agitation and hyperactivity, inability to recognize human emotions, inability to come into close contact with humans and inability to feel empathy, it also makes me really disorganized. It is horrible. However, GABAergics change this for me.
When I take a benzo or a barb, it feels like I change from a heartless machine into a living human being. I experimented with more than a dozen of different benzos, both RX and RC, and the best benzo for ASD is Alprazolam, as a matter of fact, I'm on it right now and it is doing wonders.
I also experimented with barbiturates and carisoprodol (soma). Soma is pleasant, but not very effective for this condition. I had the opportunity to only try 2 different barbiturates, phenobarbital and primidone, both were even more effective than any benzo and lasted much longer, however the head-splitting hangover they give (especially primidone) is sort-of unpleasant and their limited availability makes them kind-of ineffective for everyday use.
All symptoms of my ASD are currently suppressed by alprazolam, which is the best benzo for me.
My theory is that ASD is caused by excessive levels of glutamate, which is why individuals with the mild variation of this condition have such great memory, and people with severe ASD have seizures due to the excitotoxicity of excessive glutamate levels. Excessive glutamate also leads to excessive dopamine, which results in severe agitation and psychosis. Enchannced GABA function and increased hyperpolarization decrease glutamate function and decrease depolarization, thereby suppressing autism. But this is just my theory. I hope you found this interesting.
