I don't see how having a disability would have any effect on a Sim's ability to use supernatural powers. My Deaf character I mentioned in the other thread is a vampire, and if anyone offered to "cure" her, she'd be super mad at them. She likes herself the way she is. (She was also a plant Sim at one point, but that's a whole different story.)
Advanced technology doesn't automatically mean disability doesn't exist. (I recently read a science fiction anthology called Accessing the Future, which solely featured disabled protagonists and not a single "cure" story.)
A mental or learning disability could make it more difficult to develop powers (takes longer, maybe because it's harder to focus), but I don't like limiting a player by making it impossible to develop powers. Being able to travel in bat or mist form might actually be freeing for a vampire in a wheelchair or who uses a cane, for starters. (We won't get into issues regarding vampiric spar for the physically disabled vampires.)
