I literally just saw a girl crash off her bike because an oblivious pedestrian was walking in the bike lane. If even if you’re just going to cross the lanes to get to the other side, maybe look both ways before proceeding so you don’t cause an accident. They’ve literally had to put people out by the lanes with signs to tell people this, but they can’t do this every single day. It’s called a Side-WALK for a reason.

I was recently finally diagnosed with ADHD, but I also see many behaviors both past and present that are consistent with higher functioning autism symptoms. I’m looking for a local office or practice that does ASD diagnoses for adults, who also takes Tricare for insurance. Tricare west’s website has been atrocious for this task due to it being utterly useless because of inaccurate or non-updated information across the board, and online providers are more of the same, and much less effective at diagnosing and treating autism. I’m wondering if anyone in this subreddit has experience on this or knows someone who could help locally in town.

[contextual trip report for the question asked at the end]

My friend and I loaded up a bubbler with powdered DMT, this batch was supposed to be more potent than the other one we previously took, so we started with just 1 hit each. He heated up his dose shortly after mine, and likely inhaled some of the residual vapor from my hit that hadn’t fully vaporized when I took my hit. He claimed the bowl was almost completely opaque with white vapor before inhaling his dose. I he set down the bubbler and laid back on the same bed as me. I was positioned perpendicular to him, and facing away, experiencing my own very intense trip off of just one hit. It wasn’t until I noticed his legs kind of spasming and moving erratically that I was jolted to a higher state of awareness (still a kinda high) and notice he was lowkey tweaking out. I looked at him, and asked if he was good, somewhat indignantly because I was a little freaked out, I think I presumed he’d be on a similar level to me, he was staring at me eyes open, but not saying anything, just making noises of discomfort and having a face of confusion/concern on his face. His body would sometimes move erratically, he’d bend his knees to like 30 degrees while laying on his back and kind of pat his feet on the bed with moderate intensity. He would wring his hands together, and one point sort of childishly grabbing at his genitals (I presume for comfort) when he looked at mr talking to him, in an attempt to comfort him, he looked like a scared animal, or like he was looking right through me. Eventually he came to, said he was in a black void, my voice sounded echoey and far away, he could see me or at least some parts of my form but nothing else in the void. He was aware of the fact that he’d smoked something, and questioned where his dogs were (he loves them a lot, they’re very important in his life) so we concluded he didn’t have a full ego death, but was largely disassociated from external reality. He said he wasn’t scared or terrified while there, moreso just confused

My question is this: What was likely going on psychologically/neurologically while he was in this state, that would cause his external self to behave in the way described (i.e. not looking like he was having a good time) while his internal conscious parts of his psyche allegedly felt okay? Was it his unconscious that was left behind in the external body, while his conscious mind folded inward? Was his inner child all that was left behind?

Shit throws me off hella hard, is this a known issue that bungie is working to patch? I’ve heard others complain too
