There was a partially blind person who posted a week or so ago about that actually, try searching for it if your interested. Not sure what the title would be or anything though. He had been blind since birth iirc and he said he still got visuals.

I don't think anything would happen, kind of like when Ram Dass (Richard Alpert) gave a Yogi a large dose of LSD and nothing happen. There's nowhere to go, autism is caused by an excess of "happiness" (high levels of serotonin)

If someone is given lsd when they have no idea what it is or what it does, and they are given no warning its going to happen, i think even a normal person would have a very bad trip. I think it would be a similar situation if you gave it to a retarded person.
I read that link. Testing experimental drugs on children is preety twisted. "The dosage was set at 100mcg. for each child except for one smaller girl who received 50mcg. and one boy who received 200mcg." 100mcg is alot of acid to give a little kid.

If Autism was caused by excessive happiness i.e. serotonin, then it would be curable by now. There are a lot of autistic people who suffer from bouts of depression. It is much more complicated than excessive happiness. As far as giving handicapped people hallucinogens, I think it would be bad. The govt. probably already tried that in the MK-Ultra days.

I don't see how experiencing psychedelic induced illusions will somehow fix brains with retarded development.

well, since we dont rally understand psychedelics, or mental retardation for that matter, it makes sense to blindly combine them.

I'm not saying it's exclusively caused by an over-production of serotonin, or that autistic individuals don't get sad. There are many ways a person can develop into mental retardation, but a common thread in autism IS an excessive amount of serotonin, which is a psychedelic in it of itself.

I've read that unreferenced second-hand story too. Sounds like slight of hand. Yes, I'm crying bullshit. He probably didn't take it. Jesus wasn't above doing parlor tricks, either. Water into wine, loaves and fishes.
Hey, have you seen this?
It's pretty overpowering stuff.
