#AskingAutistics An interesting question came up from my audience: Do you think that alcohol affects you differently from neuroaverage people?
I could only speak from my very old personal experience, and my answer was no. I think alcohol affects me the same way as it affects NT people- the only noteworthy differences are, that I *really* don't like its taste and neither do I find being drunk fun or enjoyable in the least. If anything, I find the feeling of not having clear thoughts somewhat annoying. I really enjoy being able to think fast and hard!
So I tried to understand what makes drinking enjoyable for a time, wasn't sufficiently entertained and gave up. I've been 100% sober for over 10 years now and don't see that changing.
How about you?
