Are you autistic? Have you ever used MDMA?

Opportunity to Take Part in Research

Project Title: Autism and MDMA: exploring the experiences of MDMA use in autistic people and perceived subsequent changes in social functioning and mental wellbeing.

This University College London (UCL) survey is exploring autistic adults’ experiences of MDMA. This study has received full ethical approval from UCL’s Research Ethics Committee (Project ID: 20251/001) and is led by Professor Sunjeev Kamboj at UCL.

Who can take part?
- Aged 18+
- Have a diagnosis or self-identify as autistic

Participants usually need about 30 minutes to complete the survey, and data will be anonymised. If you have any questions about taking part, please contact Layla Witham (researcher) on [email protected].

Are the people leading this research autistic?

Are the people leading this research high???
Rhetorical question.

Hahaha!

Bazinga!

I do not participate in surveys, but I did use MDA for a while 50 years ago. It did make one feel very good. However, I did not consider it a "party" drug as MDMA is often shown today. I found it more suited to periods of relaxation or even romantic interludes.

Hello, thank you for your question! I don't have a diagnosis of autism. Although I have my suspicions, I haven't pursued a diagnosis yet, so at present the answer is no. That said, this project is designed with input from autistic voices, and we are committed to centering the experiences of autistic people.

I'd love to try MDMA but I've never been offered it from a source I trusted.
