In this episode, we speak with Aaron Orsini, an author, researcher, and composer who was diagnosed with autism in his twenties. Aaron shares his journey of self-discovery, which began with a life-changing LSD trip that allowed him to connect with himself in ways he never thought possible. This experience set him down a research rabbit hole, leading him to write his first book, "Autism on Acid," followed by "Autistic Psychedelic" and "Introduction to Psychedelic Autism."
Aaron discusses his ongoing exploration of the intersection between autism and psychedelics, and how these substances can provide unique insights and therapeutic benefits for neurodivergent individuals. He shares his personal experiences with psychedelic therapy, as well as his work in the neurodivergent and psychedelic community. The autisticpsychedelic.com community is an online resource and meeting point for autistic individuals as well as friends, family, and professionals who seek to support autistic individuals in various psychedelic contexts.
Join us for a fascinating discussion on the potential benefits and challenges of psychedelic therapy for individuals on the autism spectrum, and how Aaron's work is helping to bridge the gap between these two communities.
