I would be okay with fixing my gastrointestinal issues and some of my cognitive struggles if I kept my cognitive differences.

Same, I have zero desire to think like a neurotypical. I don’t wanna be an NPC.

thankfully I don't think that this sort of therapy would change everything about someone's cognition. We already know that autistic and ND brains have physical differences in their construction compared to neurotypical folks. We also knew that new structural differences may not be the entire story!
