2x2 domain analysis of the term "autism"

There's a definitive distinction, between traits which ENABLE (E) and traits which DISABLE (D), the political capital of the bearer.

There's also a distinction between genomic/anatomical PREDISPOSITIONS (P), and cultural ADAPTATIONS (A).

Autism originally referred to : 

• DP

Autism has been co-opted as a label for : 

• EP, 
• DA, and 
• EA

 ... which I find problematic, but which I consider worth discussing for clarity.
