Notes -
I agree your observations on both growing out of autism and MDMA. I think I'm culturally autistic (both my dad and brother got diagnosed recently) and went through some childhood events that I think predisposed me to having poor social skills, but not particularly autistic on a genetic or biological level. Autism is polygenic so it makes sense for me to think of people as falling on a bell curve of autistic genes/traits, and I think I'd be somewhere between 1 and 2 STDEV right of mean by that metric. Autism diagnosis rates are about 3-4 percent which conforms to diagnoses requiring about 2stdev.
