This attitude is OK at a personal level, but telling a schizophrenic homeless person they just need to adapt and overcome wouldn't be acceptable. There's a lot of mental disorder out there and abandoning the "neuro-whatevers" to figure it out themselves when society is entirely designed for neurotypical thought patterns is an injustice. You don't blame someone with dyslexia for not being able to read, you try to help them learn a skill society assumes they will have. There has to be a middle ground.
