Sorry, but you're not a neurologist. My son's current official diagnosis is actually "encephalopathy with autistic symptom presentation." The underlying hypothesis of the treatments we are pursuing is that most cases of autism are actually combinations of mitochondrial encephalopathy, atypical Glycine encephalopathy, and toxic encephalopathy. In addition, many autistic kids have been found to have chronic Lyme infections and thiamine deficiencies, both of which can also lead to encephalopathy, but these seem to be relatively small contributors compared to the other conditions.
I have no idea what "autism in itself is asymptomatic" is supposed to mean.
