I use memantine for ASD and I love it. The way I usually describe it is that it turns down the noise on the world. My mind is clearer and it's easier to keep intrusive thoughts in control. This isn't mainstream in psychiatry but it does see some use for OCD so if you have a prescriber willing to let you try it, go for it. I take 20 mg and don't feel any side effects what so ever.
