I don't know if I am neurodivergent (on days I take my meds, eat all my superfoods, and exercise for the third day in a row (I would say "or more days", but you know)), but I can say that having a clear and motivating goal is the best way to learn anything, no matter how unnatural/challenging it seems at first. As long at it has put itself between myself and my goal.

Also, hardship. I have learned so much from that, that it feels almost hypocritical not to heartily recommend it.
