You could extend your attitude to any sort of disability couldn't you. Why hire someone in a wheelchair, when there is someone who could walk up the stairs in half the time?

"Can they code it on the job" is the relevant question.

You can take the guy who starts frothing at the mouth when you ask him to code fizzbuzz, I’ll take the wheelchair guy who can code fizzbuzz during the interview. Deal?
