Has anybody seen "Atypical" on netflix...

george48 said:

This is probably the best thing I have ever seen...Period....it is fun, thought provocing, intelligent and wise...

It artfully teaches one about the difficulties of life out of the perspective of the often ignored and harassed...the autistic...and also explores teenage angst, lesbianism, growing up, finding love and so much more in such a mature and wonderful way.

Gosh is that good...

Just wanna know your view...Thank you

Psychedelics helped me break out of the "windowless concrete room" that my mind inhabited for most of my childhood.
That doesn't mean I am evangelizing them, I can only speak for my own experience.
But that is what I credit with helping me learn to be a social animal, it completely rewired me.

Thanks but it wasn't really bravo worthy.
I did not know this would be the outcome, so it was really just dumb luck.
I just decided one day to try out some acid, why not trip out, can't be worse than the day to day...
So really, I just began to notice that I was seeing the world differently and to be honest I did not put two and two together right away.

If someone had said, "Here take this, you'll have an artificially induced religious experience and it will rewire the way you interact with people" I would have felt suspicious and probably would have decided not to try it.
I tried it because the descriptions I'd read about in various books made it sound interesting and exciting.
I'd seen "2001 A Space Odyssey" and I was sort of expecting it might be a bit like the special effects in the film.



And to "some extent" it was, and that was mostly what I got out of it for the most part until later, when I slowly began to realize that some of the longer lasting effects were internal and my own mind's reaction to the experience and not the drug itself.

So yeah, sheer dumb luck.
A lot of the best things that have happened to me have worked out to be sheer dumb luck.
