Im autistic, im wondering if this high i feel right now is how neuro typical people always feel in their normal state,(Neuro Typical= non autistic person.

im talking more, laugh more, smile, and have emotion, and think more, and am much more metnally energetic.

Although it is not completely clear, on further reading, it appears that the OP is discussing current use of illegal drugs, which is against our rules:

Bolding mine. For this reason, I am closing this thread.

**World** , please read the rules and FAQs before posting. You may ask a more general question on the neurological effects of THC in GQ. However, please do not discuss current use of illegal drugs.
