I would recommend the use of the theory of brain dimension connection. In my research, "How people respond to life-challenges with a ten-dimensional ecosystem of support," I found that the coping skills, resources, and relationships people have are ten-dimensional (spiritual, emotional, social, cultural, intellectual, environmental, political, economic, physical, and recreational. The description you have for brain theory is not just social, but the connections between the different dimensions that make up who we are. HeartMath Institute is currently working on advancing their studies of the heart energy which is proving to be seven times that of the mind and suggesting that the heart also has a mind of its own called conscience. Since there are connections between the mind and heart, it would seem wise to connect the two in order to understand the inner workings of the brain more fully.
You can add more connections to the Body. For instance - Desires relate to different Body-Parts. They influence the Mind and even Who you Are, and what you'll go through, through life.
I would name this theory as 'Theory of Life' (social life) because we would not be able to do anything without it. Another name I dislike and disapprove of is 'Theory of Dysfunction', being autistic is not a dysfunction, it is a different function, sometimes above the average, sometimes not very functional. Despite the impairments, we need to name the theories with a more inclusive name...
There is a name for this function in of the mind called sense making . Unfortunately not everyone agrees to what makes sense as it is based on your own opinions formed from previous experiences .
