DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book explores and evaluates accounts and models of autistic reasoning and cognition from a computational standpoint. The author investigates the limitations and peculiarities of autistic reasoning and sets out a remediation strategy to be used by a wide range of psychologists and rehabilitation personnel and will also be appreciated by computer scientists who are interested in the practical implementation of reasoning. The author subjects the Theory of Mind (ToM) model to a formal analysis to investigate the limitations of autistic reasoning and proposes a formal model regarding mental attitudes and proposes a method to help those with autism navigate everyday living. Based on the concept of playing with computer based mental simulators, the NL_MAMS, is examined to see whether it is capable of modeling mental and emotional states of the real world to aid the emotional development of autistic children. Multiple autistic theories and strategies are also examined for possible computational cross-overs, providing researchers with a wide range of examples, tools and detailed case studies to work from. Computational Autism will be an essential read to behavioral specialists, researcher’s, developers and designers who are interested in understanding and tackling the increasing prevalence of autism within modern society today.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKASDF MPE represents a roadmap in addressing the multiple issues facing Autism, Psychopaths, Pedophiles and COVID. Autism can be a scary word, and any misdiagnosis can be catastrophic to your child's cognitive or learning ability. What is Autism, when your child can't read, or has behavioral issues? Climbing the autistic ladder from Sensory, to Creative and finally Cognitive depends on your child's particular birth defect. Yes, a birth defect could be hormonal, biochemical, sensory, attitude or cognitive. Autism may not reveal itself until the second grade, where learning becomes a monumental stumbling block. How you approach your child's education often requires specialized medical or psychological care. Psychological Care attempts to understand how your child's brain works, because Autism is a broad spectrum of Sensory, Creative and Cognitive roadblocks. i've included several examples, charts to fill out, case studies, my own personal experiences and what strategies work best. Autism consists of 11 senses, where most normal people have 5. These 11 senses often branch off into Psychopaths and Pedophiles, which I explain in great detail. Recognizing each of these 11 senses offers a better understanding of your child's character, behavior, interests or personality. Autism is a birth defect, afflicting the Endocrine system, brain and many sensory receptors within the nervous system. Being a birth defect, Parents and School Administrators must documented and design your child's educational curriculum, so to better accommodate a successful learning experience.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKWriting the Passions is a book of literary criticism, of philosophy and of the politics of modernity. It explores the arguments on the location of feeling in literature; on the fragmentation of the self under the pressure of the passions; of the place of the passions in psychoanalytic practice and theory; and on the notions of multiplicity, soul, spirit, polytheism and animism developed from their bases in psychoanalytic and Derridean theory. The relations between writing and the passions are addressed through individual texts, ranging across many centuries and from Europe to China. Writers and texts discussed include Plato, Andrew Marvell, Swinburne, Salman Rushdie, Iain Banks, Deleuze, Guattari and many others. Topics addressed include: the meaning of crime passionnel; art and the wound; passion and ceremonial; adoration and abjection; dread and disgust; the nature of the exotic; shame and irony; separation, incompletion and the cure. Written in a uniquely engaging and accessible style, Writing the Passions provides readers with a fascinating exploration of the general notion of 'the passions', together with a set of historical insights into how the passions have been considered and treated in different literatures and cultures.
