It’s been difficult for me to come forward about this, but I need closure and I wanted to ask more people in the know so I can get as close to the full picture as I can.

I mentioned this to a close friend, that I was fed medicine as a young child up into middle school that would help me behave myself at school. I have autism and I didn’t yet have the coping mechanisms to deal with overstimulation. My mother would open these white and brownish-red capsules into pudding and mix it up so I could ingest the medicine (I couldn’t swallow pills at that point in time). I have genuine brain fog of memories I should have of my childhood still, since I’m only a young adult, but I don’t, and whenever I used to ask my mom what medicine she gave me to keep me in line, and she said she “doesn’t remember.”

Telling my close friend this, she believes I was fed benzodiazepines. Something like Xanax or Valium perhaps. I wanted to ask, if anyone here has taken benzodiazepines before, do you believe I was fed those sedatives?
