The same can be said for many neurodivergent "disorders" like ADHD and OCD and Depression. Though I would point out that many of these disorders could easily be recategorized as traits and everyone has some number of traits regardless of if you are seen as neurotypical or not. I would argue that "treatment" is a modification of traits such that we fit a mold in modern society and not necessarily to make us better for our own sake but for the sake of those around us that don't understand how our brains work.
I medicate to make myself less of an inconvenience for you. Not necessarily to make my life better for me.
Not the case for all neurodivergents but I know a lot who share the sentiment.
