That sort of preference seems equivalent to preferring to be hit over the head with a baseball bat to me.
Which is difference more in connotative judgement than in nature from preferring to be tied up and hit with straps and various leather paraphernalia...
You mean "which is different", right?
Edit: if 'which is difference' isn't a typo then I can't parse your sentence...
The preference is evidence that the "disability" really isn't, like homosexuality.
It can also be evidence that humans use 'sour grapes' as a coping mechanism.
Near one end of the spectrum of advantage, novel difference and unambiguous disorder is schizophrenia. There are those who declare that cognitive problem to be just a difference to be embraced or even something that can produce special success but I claim it is something that really is purely a negative thing. People can be successful despite schizophrenia, but not because of it. I would not make the same judgement with respect to, say, ADHD or Aspergers.
I am influenced, for example, by this Stanford lecture.
