Researchers are conducting a clinical study investigating the safety and effectiveness of MDMA-assisted therapy for the treatment of social anxiety in 12 MDMA-naïve adults on the autism spectrum. The goal of this study is to determine if MDMA-assisted therapy can safely and effectively enhance functional skills in autistic adults, an underserved group which tends to experience greater anxiety, depression, and victimization than typically developing adults.

The Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS), a non-profit research and educational organization that is working on novel approaches to some of the worlds most challenging mental health issues, is sponsoring this collaborative study between the Los Angeles Biomedical Research Institute at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center and Stanford University.
 
Join MAPS staff and other visionary thinkers for a presentation and reception with Greek food and warm hospitality.
