The behavior ADHD brings out actually has the potential to be a benefit. Whether or not it is for the individual is dependent on a lot of other factors, much of it during upbringing. I already stated this, I'm fully aware of it being a problem more often than not. But the potential for it to be a benefit is absolutely there. Being blind has no potential to be an actual benefit for you...ever.

I don't know, Ray Charles and Stevie Wonder were pretty awesome. Lotsa great blues musicians were blind. If they could see they woulda had to work instead of making music.

That's the level your logic is on.
