We don't celebrate those adults. We call them underachievers and have them do menial jobs.

Or we call them “classic absent-minded geniuses” and celebrate their accomplishments in high-level knowledge work, while treating their challenges as cute and endearing.

IQ, co-occurring conditions, and socioeconomic factors have a pretty big impact on which of those (or a number of other) outcomes are realized.
