Forgive me for my bluntness, but I don't get it. I don't get why people start doing it, and I especially don't get why autists start doing it, in their supposedly more logical thinking.
I'm diagnosed with Asperger's and 19 years old, and there's no nice way to express my view on this, but I've always felt extremely alone in my absolute rejection of all recreational drugs, not least because so many people with my very own diagnoses do them, in addition to the general populace.
I'm more concerned with why people start doing them rather than why people can't stop, because that second part is very easy to explain. I just don't understand why people make a choice that is nothing but harmful to them, and others. I've no idea why, if it's social pressure, they let themselves cave into it. I've no idea why people can't analyse risks and benefits. I could go on about the 1,000s of reasons against such practices, but I don't think I'm at liberty to. I rarely express such views at all because I know they get met with scathing rejection.
If anything can come out of this post, I want to know if there are other people like me, and I want to know from the point of view of those who consume these drugs why they do it, more importantly, why they started doing it, in as much detail as they can. Thank you.
