What is the only eligibility category that you cannot be born with?

Explanation:
In this context, it helps to distinguish between conditions that can be present at birth or develop early and those that are acquired after birth. A traumatic brain injury is an acquired disability—it's caused by an external head injury after birth. Because it results from an event after birth, you cannot be born with a traumatic brain injury. The other options—autism spectrum disorder, visual impairment, and intellectual disability—can be present from birth or emerge very early in life, so they can be conditions someone is born with.
