I don't think that abnormal is always treated as a negative - it just means out of the norm meaning the majority of the people are not included.

You can describe somebody is abnormally intelligent for example and it's a positive in this light.

But I really doubt you're gonna find a group of people that want to celebrate the idea that they are unable to see, in that context vision impairment is a negative abnormal trait.
