It works even better if you expand to include neurodiverse individuals as a group, with gay etc being a subset.
There is a huge spread in abilities and disabilities. What all share is being different from normal, and the reaction of "normal" people to that.
Some have massive benefits, with relatively small downsides akin to storm (e.g. well adapted autism or ADHD). Others have a mix akin to beast etc. Others are completely screwed over, akin to Rogue.
In real life, I know people who would slap you in the face for suggesting a cure. I also know others who would bite your hand off, if one was offered.
My autism doesn’t require a cure. I have my Issues but overal i am valid and content with my gifts.
Some people with autism are looking for a cure, There reasons are just as valid.
You are 100% correct and the xmen disagreeing on this topic is completely true in real life.
as a person with autism and probably adhd, my take on it is that it would be real fucking nice to be able to take a pill that makes more neurotypical for a couple hours, which is sort of what adhd meds seem to do and a big reason why it annoys me that everyone glosses over my adhd symptoms.
like yeah there are benefits to having autism, but it'd also be pretty fucking sweet to not feel like i'm going to explode because people around me are being too loud
