Asking because my gf has ADHD and she told me that, the first time she took ritalin (methylphenidate), she thought to herself "So this is what it feels like to not have ADHD?"

That got me thinking, is there a drug that has a similar effect on autists, that allows them to experience what is it like to "not have autism"?

Don't forget that adhd can result in underdeveloped areas and overdeveloped areas when left untreated.

Edit: what about a GABA drug like GHB?
