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.

Well, one angle is to qualify the use of the term "literacy", as in "visual literacy". Here is an article about the movie Pacific Rim that pointed out how much of the story (or rather, backstory) was visually communicated to audiences via production and character design in ways that entirely whoosh over the head of most viewers focused on dialog and acting:
