IMHO, it works better as an allegory for disability. Some people (higher-functioning autists) need acceptance, but I don’t think people with debilitating pain or immuno-defficiancy see their struggles as an inseparable part of their personality.
Storm’s comment was directed at Rogue. The one who was excited about a cure for her horrible condition that makes it so she can’t touch another human being without fucking them up. If literally anyone else had asked if it was true there was a cure then your point would make sense but Rogue actually does need the cure. It was shitty writing to have it be Rouge that got that lecture and people are right to call it out.
