Autistic Psychedelic: Connecting Neurodivergent Voices and Psychedelic Research

by Mary Rawson Foreman, PhD — Psychologist & Art Therapist, Kirkland, WA

As research into psychedelic-assisted therapy expands, autistic and neurodivergent voices are increasingly part of the conversation. One project leading this movement is AutisticPsychedelic.com, which is a community-driven site.

The project provides thoughtful, research-based information about psychedelics, autism, and mental health. It bridges scientific study and lived experience, creating a space where both can inform one another.

Alongside its educational materials, the site also lists opportunities to participate in ongoing research related to psychedelics and neurodivergence:

• Begin the University of Toronto Survey ›

• Begin the MDMA Survey ›

• Email PAT-DA@camh.ca for more information about studies coordinated by the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH).

If you are an autistic or neurodivergent adult interested in contributing to responsible psychedelic research, these surveys are a meaningful way to help advance understanding.
