I'm looking for another word, that (ironically) I can't find :) Something to mean a disposition to think and communicate (perhaps in a superior way) without recourse to language. Non-linguistic? Illiterate? (that sounds a bit harsh/critical). But you see the space I'm shooting for (divorce the idea of illiteracy from "stupidity"). > As in other contexts, accommodating a broad range of ability in people produces benefits for everyone, including for those who are more able. Yes, I'm all for that, minus the use of "more/less able" (and say so in my example of "coding without code"). But returning to the OP essay, there's a problem that the structures of business and politics, formalisms, records, bureaucracies, project management.. are deeply rooted in the written (and often tortuously long-form) culture that mobile technologies, short attention spans and nonlinguistic semiotics are supplanting. And to me that also suggests a widening class-gap, or rather a growing gap between modes of understanding the world that determine who are deciders or followers. It's more to do with technology use than any level of education or neuro-atypical "disorder" (the way you use "dyslexia" in a strictly "medical" way.) I hope that makes sense.
