I am mildly colorblind. Doesn't really impact much in day-to-day life, but knowing it allows me to understand that the world I see is not the same as the world most people see.
I have no interest in a "cure" any more than I'd try to cure the colors of my eyes.
Diagnosis can alleviate the push to conform. With greater awareness of colorblindness most designers worth anything avoid creating problem color combinations (e.g. red text on a black background). Many video games even have colorblind palate swaps for problematic area.
This seems to be happening with the Autism spectrum. As more people realize that there are people who are just wired in their own unique way we are starting to see more organizations and groups learning to embrace different ways of thinking rather than requiring conformity.
