Guess the variable:

For me, [X] slows down the frame rate of life enough for me to see the world through neurotypical eyes. I catch the micro-expressions. I hear the subtlety. I track the conversations. All without thinking 5 miles ahead in my own brain, which clouds all of that.

Be careful, though, because it impacts my attention/focus and ADHD traits for 2-3 days after. It's still worth it, but I can't do it routinely.
