I don't have any good data sets. Anecdotally it seems like autistic people report reduced effects from LSD, at least outwardly. I am likely closer to the 'autism' side of the spectrum and handled serious regular use of LSD without going insane. I always wonder if it's related.

Start here: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4592308/ … The references in this article will help. Also Canada did studies using psychedelics in the 60's and 70's, the methods used were described as torture. They damaged a lot of healthy children. But interesting outcomes for others
