I have a theory that in both cases, having to deal with the world in a constantly adaptive way, flexes one’s innovation muscles. You are always having to creative-problem-solve to carry out normal activities. Creativity is a lot about turning deficits into assets. Another example is how many improvisers leverage their ADD to their advantage.
