There's no room in society for round pegs not to fit in square holes.
Imagine what would happen to our society if some of it's most imaginative minds were actually allowed to function for the better of us all? Disaster. We wouldn't have nearly as many faithful worker bees to resign themselves to saying, "that's life."
As long as attention 'problems' are treated as such, there won't be much in the way of progress. it's like treating addicts by locking them up.

I agree with everything you say until the last paragraph. Take a walk down E. Hastings or by the Cecil. To me a lot these people would be better off in jail. They're not going to go to a treatment centre themselves and having them do some time would be good way for them to clean up, have a look at themselves and have another kick at the cat. It won't work for everyone but I think you'd be doing a lot of these people a favor.
