Listen Later

Nothing contained on this episode is intended to encourage the use of illegal substances. Given that psychedelics continue to be used illegally by people around the world, the educational information in this podcast encourages safe, sacred and effective journeys with psychedelics, if these powerful tools are to be used at all.


Aaron Paul Orsini is an autistic author, educator, and researcher of psychedelic medicines. In the years since being diagnosed autistic and ADHD, Aaron has had extensive firsthand experience receiving and supporting others with a variety of psychedelics including LSD, psilocybin, and MDMA, all of which helped him to heal, grow, and eventually go on to publish three books on the topic — Autism On Acid, Autistic Psychedelic, and Introduction to Psychedelic Autism — in addition to co-founding AutisticPsychedelic.com, an online hub for autistic individuals, their family members, and the professionals who seek to support them amidst their intentional explorations with psychedelic medicines. Since helping to establish the Autistic Psychedelic Community in March of 2020, Aaron served as an autism-focused psychedelic research co-author for University College London, and has also served as a diversity committee member for the American Psychedelic Practitioners Association. He presently serves as the course creator and lead instructor of the online “Introduction To Psychedelic Autism” course, and as a neurodiversity-affirming lecturer for Alma Institute and SoundMind institute, two of Oregon’s legal, M109-compliant psilocybin facilitation training programs. Aaron also continues to influence progressive educational approaches by serving as an expert advisor for a harm-reduction-focused adult autistic substance use program known as A.D.A.P.T., which recently received funding from ResearchAutism.org.
