Yes Shakti, nicotine can be beneficial for both people with autism and AD(H)D.
There are nicotine mint tabs (1mg and 2mgnicotine per tab) that dissolve slowly in your mouth (between gums and cheeck), maybe you could try these instead of e-cigarettes. They are available at your local pharmacy.

As a musical term for sure, "the '80s" imply the late '70s and early '90s. You can think of them as tapers of this golden decade.
