So their implication is that a self on altering medication is a truer version of an unaltered self.
Now I understand that the company simply wants to sell their product, but I've heard similar claims from people taking anti depressants. I don't understand the point of this denial, you don't see parapalegics claiming that the "real them" has legs.

yeah at least i'd have the honesty, if i was to get back on meds, to admit it wasn't because i wanted to feel normal for what's normal for me.
because that's shit.

The idea, is to get people to buy the conflation between individuality and increased narcissism (the latter being the only thing these medicines promote).
My doctor had successfully peddled anti-depressants onto me with that line as a naive 16 year old. I had been aware of anti-psychiatry but not with a fine enough understanding of it yet to develop fully contextualized awareness. Hence, I incorrectly reconciled psychotropic use with my beliefs.

Then I stupidly did the same again last year, but with the goal of becoming a complete normalfag; no emotions, no thoughts, able to use instinct alone to get by. Problem is, I didn't count on the complete void of instinctuality that Aspergers had given me, so as I had begun my doses, I realised that I was actually just erasing what few coping mechanisms I had developed. Well, of course neurotypicals would drug autistics with the purpose intention of destroying them! Why was I so stupid but to trust them this once?
It was terrible, the only way they made me feel was paranoid and panicky.
