Thee point of bringing up Stephen Hawking was to set him as an example of an afflicted person doing great things. It was unimportant whether he had a brain disorder or not. I also brought up John Nash (schizophrenia) and Beethoven (deaf).
I view the mentally ill as afflicted individuals who can and do achieve great things.
