It makes masking so much less painful.

I so badly long to be who I am after 2 beers, without actually needing any alcohol. In terms of my confidence, social ability, and the turning down of the world, it makes me feel close to normal.

The reason why someone with higher-severity symptoms of autism might not use drugs as often is cause you often need to be around people to access drugs lol

alcohol is a nervous system depressant so wouldn't it make sense for it to help with sensory issues?

Other people are much more forgiving of autistic symptoms when they are drinking with you too. Anything odd is brushed off as tipsy or drunk.

I remember asking my first psychiatrist why medication and drugs don't work, and why alcohol helps me have energy, focus, dance or do chores. And lowers pain and overall makes me happy 😅 he was clueless.. He was like " I've never heard of that! ". Audhd here...

it's a depressant that dulls the senses and impairs cognitive function. my brain is in overdrive, nonstop, whether I want it to be or not. but not on alcohol. under the influence of alcohol it is possible to turn my brain down for a while. unfortunately the side effects usually do not outweigh the benefits.

Alcohol was “magic” until it was a personal hell. Im sober now and diagnosed (which made a HUGE difference in understanding myself in order to stop drinking)! I worry for my adult child who is also ASD as we get closer to 21…alcohol is such a trap 😭 😭

it treats: loneliness, stress from functioning all day, anxiety of being around people who judge you, and irritability. it really is effective until its a problem

I have ASD. Alcohol reduces my issues with sensory problems. Sober I can't stand certain textures, clothes and food both. Buzzed or drunk, I have far fewer issues.

I always heard that it deadened the senses. That's why I used to drink...heavily. 11 years sober this November 4th 💖

Audrey Frampton :
So glad you are talking about this! Audhd here and I used to drink about every other day. It was too much. now I can’t anymore because my fibromyalgia makes me unable to have it without having horrible hangovers that trigger flare ups. I can have one week drink every once in a while if I make sure to drink lots of water and take care of myself really well the day before and after. So I just avoid it generally.

I think the data is probably confounded because the amount of undiagnosed AuDHD particularly among women. As you know, ADHD can add quite a different wrinkle to the discussion.

sarimyrskyneva :
I am definitely, probably 😆, AuDHD.. And it took me some 44yrs to self-diagnose that.. after first realizing I am hypersensitive. I drink because of anxiety - mostly social anxiety, but also anxiety over chores and other shit I should do (like work😂). Now been 10 months sober, after getting adhd medication, and understanding why I drink.. also quit my job 3yrs ago after (autistic) burnout, was then drinking daily. 🙄 This world is not made for the neuro spicy..

Alcohol is like a fast charger. I only have so much battery and most of the time I cannot get to 100%. It lets me get to a hundred quick and last a while. But the side effects 😳

Anecdotally, I know I ended up with a heroin addiction to cope with undiagnosed ASD in high school. Even ended up in rehab and did several years in AA/NA. Once I was diagnosed in my 20s(34 now) it all clicked. I remember in rehab telling my counselor that it just made the world feel less aggressive.

I’m wicked with my words when I drink. It’s crazy because I have a speech impediment and have to speak very intentionally to be understood… I drink and quick witted mean comments fly out of my mouth. I don’t feel like im a very critical person day to day!
