I suppose being on the proper medication would give you a small glimpse of what being neurotypical is like.

Yeah, no, not necessarily.

There are definitely people who find great benefit in medication. I am one of them. But for me, my methods of thinking don’t change, I just don’t hate myself because of them.

The flip suggestion that “the right medication” would “cure” neurodivergency is a major part of the problem that ND people experience.
