Talk:Autism spectrum

* What are we trying to say in that article? What's actual established science for that topic? What are things to consider? What are the implications in regard to psychonautics? Can autists be psychonauts? Or are psychedelics mostly just relaxing for them? Consider "Category:Psychiatric diagnosis" to this page if it gets moved to main space.

@Clarity: Would you like to help me on this page (Kenan liked it but asked the questions that I added in the infobox)? --David Hedlund (talk) 01:44, 15 November 2018 (CET)
