For a while society just plain ostracized anyone atypical, and then swung back really hard to our current position of "everyone is the same". I would like to think we're near a point where we'll settle back on a more nuanced middle ground, where instead of having a single box we shove everyone into (with those who don't fit being either left aside or crammed in awkwardly), we can instead recognize the benefits in "disadvantages" like you mentioned.
I think we'll come to accept that dyslexia, autism, ADD/ADHD, and countless other "disorders" are really just specializations.
