ASD like symptoms induced by drug & lifestyle

Hi,

While people with ASD are born with it and have it for real and forever .

Is it maybe possible for using drugs(not caffeine. higher up the list kk..) for a couple of amount of years along with that causing you to withdraw from society and pretty much have no social life and don't have freedom feeling? or other along those lines, and that you may look paler and that sort of stuff? (but of course because of the life style related of course).


Now.... what do you think about this please?
thank you.
 
Well . . . hard drug abusers become slaves to their habit. Because they're so addicted, the only thing they can think about is getting their next fix. So yes, I would say that cuts into their social lives. The only people they can socialize with are people who get high with them. And they stop taking care of themselves properly, so they look terrible.

Under no circumstances, however, do ASD and drug addiction reflect the same symptoms. There is social withdrawal involved in both, but for entirely different reasons. There's really no need to compare the two.
 
All drug users, have some sort of withdrawl from life. After all thats why they use. The long term affect of this withdrawl can can have social effects, but as Erith suggests not the same symptoms.
 
Hello,

I am in no way saying Drugs induce ASD like Symptoms sorry, I mean well like such as extreme isolation along with strong drug use ? (Such as drugs that may contribute to Psychosis ??? but along with extreme isolation and the drug use,.

Lets say someone is extremely isolated (pretty much disconnected with reality and for years.... and or retreat to computer/other? 90% of their life)... Along with using certain drugs that may cause Psychosis ... What's the result then?. What type of person would they turn into?
 
Heavy drug users usually wind up 6 feet under a lot younger than need be. The lucky ones, prison.
