Autism + Amphetamines = Supergenius?

I have Aspergers Syndrome (an autistic spectrum disorder) and I remained undiagnosed until about 6 months ago,at age 33. I always knew I was different from everyone else and this bothered me intensely. I experimented with many different types of drugs (some illegal) throughout my life, in an attempt to appear normal. Right now, I am taking a cocktail of prescribed anti-anxiety meds, that are effective, to some extent. But, throughout my own testing, I have found that amphetamines, both legal and illegal, produced the most normal-like thought processes, over any other drugs I've tested. I attribute these results to the fact that, my thought processes can be best explained as; multipal TV sets, playing multipal programs, all running at fast forward, simultaneously. I am able to filter and pickup alot of the information but,I have difficulty maintaining concentration. The amphetamines allow me to pick up alot more of the information and, at the right dose, I can enter a super genius state,almost without equal. I've read that Albert Einstein had Aspergers', and I suspect that he used cocaine etc... to supplement his genius. In this day and age, he might not have become, the super-genius we all know. Remember, back then drugs were still legal and I'm 99% sure, he used them to his advantage. I just wish I could convince my psychiatrist to let me try some different types of meds. I think there is progress to be made, of which could help thousands with Aspergers', focus and prosper. Let me know your thoughts. Thank you and Godspeed!(pun intended)

    • Autistic spectrum disorders are varied and sometimes misdiagnosed at first, but the research is improving. Having a grandson on the spectrum he has greatly improved his ability to focus with diet, in his case specifically a gluten free, casien free diet. Discuss this with your physician and talk to those experienced with Aspergers syndrome on the Autism website. Good luck!

    • If I were you, I'd avoid illegal amphetamines and metamphetamines, and not take them without medical supervision, because amphetamines do sort of burn out the brain in the long run. Furthermore, with illegal amphetamines, you don't know what you're buying and what it has been laced with, nor how pure or diluted it is. As with cocaine, if you have a weak spot in an artery in your brain or your body, amphetamines can trigger an aneurysm which might otherwise not have developed.
